About the Role
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS trusts, providing a wide range of hospital and community services across south London and specialist care nationally. We are seeking a dynamic Population Health Project Manager to play a pivotal role in shaping population health management (PHM) across Lambeth and Southwark. This role works in partnership with Lambeth GP Provider Alliance and Southwark GP Federation to support the integrator function for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs). You will coordinate the delivery of the PHM action plan, support the PHM Group, and embed PHM insight into the design and evaluation of neighbourhood health initiatives.

The role is split across both boroughs, offering immersion in local health improvement with access to the Trust’s infrastructure and expert support from the Population Health Hub.

Working closely with clinicians, managers, and a wide range of stakeholders, you will help deliver outstanding services and drive meaningful improvements to patient experience. Strong collaboration, relationship-building, and the ability to navigate interdependencies are essential.

The Population Health Hub is a new team driving Guy’s and St Thomas’ ambition to improve population health by 2030, focusing on preventative, equitable, population-level approaches. The Hub supports services to transform care models, reduce inequalities, and promote health equity across Lambeth and Southwark.
