Project Support Manager

Following the establishment of the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC) on 1st April 2024 and a recent organisational restructure, we are seeking a Senior Project Manager (NWJCC), Joint Commissioning Committee (JCC) to support our journey as a newly formed organisation.

The NWJCC is a joint committee of the seven health boards in Wales, with a Chair and Lay Members. We support collaborative commissioning across Wales, with around 120 staff based in Mold and Nantgarw/Treforest.

Our mission to be The Centre of Excellence for Collaborative Commissioning, improving health and care outcomes across Wales. We commission around 220 services, from NHS 111 and ambulance services to specialised rare disease services, and mental health, operating a £1.14bn budget.

In this role, you will join a supportive, inclusive team, working with NHS Wales, Welsh Government, and UK provider organisations. We are seeking individuals who reflect our values of respect, trust, collaboration, and excellence--those who put patients and quality at the centre of everything they do., The post holder will provide project and programme support to the Planning and Programme Management Office (PMO) portfolio to ensure that the programmes and project work streams are planned, documented and managed effectively to assist in their successful delivery.

This will also include responsibility for preparing documentation and tracking project plans and benefits.

Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC) works on behalf of Wales' seven Health Boards to plan and commission healthcare services that are best delivered nationally. While Health Boards provide services for local populations, some services are so specialist, complex or low volume that they are commissioned once for the whole of Wales. NWJCC works with and on behalf of the Health Boards to ensure these services are planned consistently, delivered safely and equitably across Wales.

With approximately 120 colleagues based in north and south Wales, we are a focused organisation with a national remit, offering a unique opportunity to influence healthcare across Wales and make a real difference. Our vision is to be the Centre of Excellence for Collaborative Commissioning, bringing together expertise to improve health and care for people in Wales.

Guided by our values of Respecting Each Other, Fostering Collaboration, Striving for Excellence and Building Trust, we provide a supportive and inclusive workplace, reflected in our Diverse Cymru Cultural Competence Certificate (Silver Award with Merit). We offer flexible working, generous annual leave, an excellent NHS pension scheme, staff benefits, and career development opportunities.
