The Trust is home to Europe’s largest dental school, a £160 million Cancer Centre, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, and one of the largest critical care units in the UK. It is part of King’s Health Partners and works closely with King’s College London on clinical research.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, organised Project Officer to join the Integrated Care Transformation Team (ICTT) to help deliver ambitious programmes that improve care and health outcomes for people across Lambeth and Southwark. This role offers the opportunity to work at the heart of place-based transformation, collaborating with clinical teams, managers, and partners across health and care sectors to turn ideas into practical, sustainable improvements.

You will lead defined areas of project delivery, coordinate project plans and workshops, analyse information, manage financial processes, engage a wide range of stakeholders, and see the impact of your contribution on patient experience and service delivery.

Supported by an experienced multidisciplinary programme team, you will build valuable project management, service improvement, finance, and leadership skills while contributing to innovative change across NHS organisations.

Main Duties

Key duties include maintaining project plans, risk and issue logs, budgets, and reporting systems; organising meetings and workshops; preparing reports, presentations, and governance papers; analysing project information; managing information and knowledge; supporting audit and evaluation; and working closely with senior clinical, managerial, and partner stakeholders to manage interdependencies, implement change, support service delivery, and perform administrative functions.
