The West of Scotland Innovation Hub is hosted by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and due to a growing portfolio of work is seeking two eHealth Project Managers with strong digital, IT, systems, or technology background.
The Hub is a multi-award-winning service which brings together health and social care, academia, patients, and industry to develop innovative solutions to healthcare challenges. These are usually clinically led and involve defining challenges, co-development of innovation projects with industry, working with funding bodies, undertaking evaluations, scaling-up successful solutions, and working with digital solutions often based on devices, sensors, data, IT systems, and artificial intelligence / machine learning. The Hub team comprises eHealth, Research & Innovation, Clinical Leads, and other specialist support staff. We provide a healthcare test-bed environment and work with industry innovators ranging from start-ups to global technology organisations, usually at the stage before innovations and products have become commercial solutions.
These eHealth Project Manager roles are within our West of Scotland Regional Test Bed team and will work on a wide variety of projects, industry engagements and Open Innovation challenges across the six NHS Boards in the West of Scotland. These are expected to include supporting the projects of three Innovation Clinical Fellows who have recently joined our team, and several national innovation catalyst competitions which involve exploring new ideas for digital solutions in priority areas. For examples of our work visit our website https://www.woshealthinnovation.scot/, follow us on Twitter @WoSInnovation and see the attached job pack.
You should bring experience in successful IT project delivery; project management; systems implementation; collaborative approaches; working with end-users; working with suppliers, industry or academic research partners; and with wider IT operations teams to deliver services required to support projects. Experience would also be beneficial in any of business analysis, testing, user-centred design, data, artificial intelligence, and any other innovative digital devices and technologies. A keen interest in developing robust, scalable, and novel solutions is essential.
You should be educated to degree level or able to demonstrate equivalent knowledge gained through significant practical experience; have experience designing and delivering IT / digital projects and be skilled at measuring the impact and benefits of change. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential as well as having experience of working with suppliers / industry partners and stakeholders. You must be flexible and prepared to react to changes in the fast-paced research environment that may affect the delivery of your work at all stages. Experience of working in IT applications implementations, research and innovation, or systems integrations would also be advantageous.
One post is permanent and the other is aligned to our funding from Scottish Government Chief Scientists Office hence is initially fixed term for 21 months.
