You will be assigned a portfolio of Adult Social Services Projects , for which they will be responsible for developing, planning, tracking, monitoring and maintaining performance in line with trajectories.

The post holder will support the planning and implementation of performance improvement, and promote quality and equality improvement, whilst ensuring business continuity of service.

Play a key role in motivating Project Team Leadership to ensure that deadlines are met.
Deal with complex enquiries from a variety of stakeholders. Provide timely and accurate information. Secure commitment from others to deliver agreed work to defined timescales, using tact, persuasion and negotiation skills. It will also be necessary to hold project teams and leads to account, and to escalate issues to the Deputy Director or Divisional Director of Adult Social Services.
The PMO is the mechanism by which the Trust will ensure that the entire Executive Team is held accountable for delivery.
The PMO designs the architecture and tools, and supports and guides the projects with project definition, planning, financials and KPIs. It also ‘governs’ through gathering evidence and RAG rating progress, facilitates the governance process and creates overall reporting mechanisms.
All CIP Projects are managed through to completion using a similar process and governance procedure that:
ensures the process used in the organisation is based on best practice;
ensures the monitoring of projects and the correct escalation procedures are in place for any failing projects;
ensures the process defines the framework that supports the CIP by implementing best practice including:
- An Executive Director Sponsor for each project;
- A lead person and timescales for each component of the project;
- Robust set of early warning indicators to identify clinical risk which will be reported on;
- Risk rating likelihood of achievement and impact on quality;
- Structured Quality Impact Assessment (QIA) of each scheme, where appropriate;
