Project Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Project Manager is expected to plan, coordinate and deliver projects across Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, ensuring agreed objectives, timelines, budgets and quality standards are achieved. Requirements typically include proven project-management experience, strong organisation and communication skills, the ability to manage risks, issues and stakeholders, and confidence working with NHS teams and senior colleagues. Familiarity with project-management methods, reporting tools, service improvement and change management is desirable. The successful candidate should be collaborative, adaptable, analytical and able to work independently while managing competing priorities. Experience in healthcare, public-sector transformation or operational improvement would be advantageous. Depending on the project, the role may require occasional travel across Trust sites and effective engagement with clinical, corporate and external partners.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
