RAID Lead / Programme Planner - NHS

Job description

RAID Lead / Programme Planner - NHS

ARCA ASSURE is growing and we are looking for two experienced programme controls specialists to join our team working on a major multi-Trust digital transformation programme

We are recruiting for:

RAID Lead – £400/day, Outside IR35

The RAID Lead will take ownership of programme-level risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies across a large, complex transformation programme.

This is a senior programme controls role rather than a PMO administration position. You will work across multiple workstreams and organisations, driving ownership, mitigation, escalation and effective governance.

Key experience:

• Significant experience managing RAID across large, complex transformation programmes
• Strong risk, issue and dependency management experience
• Experience working across multiple workstreams and senior stakeholder groups
• Ability to challenge effectively and drive actions through to resolution
• Strong understanding of programme governance and controls
• Experience producing programme-level RAID reporting and analysis

Programme Planner – £500/day, Outside IR35

The Integrated Programme Planner will own and maintain the integrated programme plan across a major multi-organisation transformation programme.

You will bring together multiple workstream plans, dependencies, milestones and critical paths into a coherent programme schedule, while challenging planning assumptions and identifying schedule risk.

Key experience:

• Significant programme planning experience within large, complex transformation programmes
• Strong experience developing and managing integrated programme plans
• Excellent understanding of dependencies, milestones, critical path and schedule risk
• Experience consolidating multiple workstream plans into a single programme view
• Confidence challenging workstream plans and working with senior programme stakeholders
• Strong programme controls discipline

For both roles

Experience working on large-scale integrated digital transformation programmes is essential.

NHS experience is highly desirable, particularly experience working on EPR programmes or other major clinical system implementations.

Both opportunities are:

• Long-term contract roles
• Predominantly remote
• Outside IR35
• Working as part of the ARCA ASSURE team on a major NHS transformation programme

If you have relevant experience in either programme-level RAID management or integrated programme planning, please apply with an up-to-date CV.
