We are recruiting for a Programme Manager to oversee the delivery of a new and exciting programme in Hackney, East London, that will see local patients and residents sharing their skills at their local GP practice. 

Funded by the NHS over two years, we will eventually be working in 9 GP practices across the borough. 

It is a very exciting programme to be part of, as it is the first of its kind in the area, and has the potential to be rolled out even wider over time. 

Starting gradually, with just three practices in the first year, two Volunteer Coordinators will recruit and support patients to fulfil vital roles needed by the local practice such as calling patients to remind them to attend appointments, or accompanying isolated patients to clinics; or to create and deliver their own activities for the benefit of other patients. These could be a peer support group, a children’s play group for the waiting area, or a local walking group.

As the Programme Manager, you will have a passion for owning a programme and delivering successful outcomes. You will have responsibility for the delivery and development of the programme – for ensuring the building of successful relationships with practice staff, for ensuring that all outcomes and targets are met, for managing the delivery of the Volunteer Coordinators – and for ensuring that the programme is central across each neighbourhood. Each GP practice will become a thriving community hub as a result of this programme, and so it will be important to build links with local community groups and encourage people living nearby to get involved. 

You will have freedom to be creative, to lead your team, of both staff and volunteers, to develop each project(s) as you feel is needed in the local area, and as determined by the skills and interests of its residents. The project(s) can grow and develop in any way, as long as they meet their targets for impact and reach.
