About the Role
Guy’s and St Thomas’ is one of the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts, providing a full range of hospital and community services across south London and specialist care for patients from further afield. The Trust is home to leading centres including the largest dental school in Europe, a £160 million Cancer Centre, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, and one of the largest critical care units in the UK. In 2021, the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined the Trust, creating a world-renowned heart and lung centre.
We are seeking a dynamic Population Health Project Manager passionate about improving health outcomes at neighbourhood level. This role supports the integrator function for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) across Lambeth and Southwark, working in partnership with Lambeth GP Provider Alliance and Southwark GP Federation. You will coordinate delivery of the Population Health Management (PHM) action plan, support the PHM Group, and embed PHM insight into the design and evaluation of neighbourhood health initiatives.
Split across both boroughs, you will lead one or more projects end-to-end—planning, day-to-day delivery, and performance management—while proactively managing risks and adapting plans to keep programmes on track. 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 key to success.
The Population Health Hub is a new team driving the Trust’s ambition to improve population health by 2030. Bringing together clinical, analytical, and improvement expertise, the Hub supports services to adopt preventative, equitable, population-level approaches, focusing on tackling health inequalities and improving outcomes in Lambeth and Southwark.
Our values are caring—putting patients first; ambitious—striving for excellence; and inclusive—respecting each other and working collaboratively. These guide how we work and shape our culture across the Trust.
