Project Manager - NHS

Principal Project Manager – National NHS Programme

Inside IR35 | 6 months intially with option to extend | Remote with occasional trips to Cardiff

This is a delivery role with a fixed deadline and real national impact.

IntaPeople have teamed up with an NHS client that needs a senior Project Manager to lead the replacement of a critical GP data and reporting product before the current contract ends in March 2027. You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end plan, align four major workstreams (data platform, IG, supplier, analytics), and drive the programme through governance to successful transition into live service.

You’ll be the person who brings structure, pace and control. The one who keeps board-level stakeholders confident while unblocking delivery teams and keeping time, cost and risk where they need to be.

What you’ll be doing

Own and run the master project plan across multiple workstreams

Lead governance, assurance, RAID and executive reporting

Manage senior stakeholders across clinical, digital and supplier environments

Control budget, dependencies and delivery milestones

Take the programme through to BAU

What we’re looking for

Proven track record delivering large, complex digital or data programmes in the NHS or wider public sector

Experience replacing or implementing enterprise systems / national platforms

Strong board-level stakeholder management

Full lifecycle delivery with clear governance and benefits realisation

PRINCE2, APM or equivalent

Why this might be a good match for you:

This is a nationally visible programme with a hard stop date, a live user base and genuine service impact. It needs someone who’s comfortable in a structured NHS environment and who’s led multi-stream delivery where governance, data and operational continuity really matter.

If you’ve operated in this sort of environment and you’re used to landing complex programmes rather than supporting them, please apply now for a confidential chat, thanks
