Digital Health & Care programme coordinator

Job Introduction

Digital Health & Care Technology Programme Coordinator

SO1

35 hours per week 

Fixed-Term contract (2 years)

Position overview

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is transforming its health and care services using digital technology and data, to empower residents to live their lives with more choice and control. From 2025 the council, the NHS and partners launched the Digital Health and Care Technology (DHACT) service to offer new ways for residents accessing our health and social care services to meet their needs - helping people to stay in their homes, be more independent and better manage their health conditions. 

As in other authorities, Greenwich is facing huge challenges in meeting the demands on our health and care services while maintaining financial sustainability. We and our partners need to radically change our mindset and ways of working to do this, and using digital technology and data at the heart of our services is one way we plan to do this. This is in line with the NHS 10-year plan, as well as the ambitions for strategic commissioning in ICBs.

The creation and scaling of these new services requires significant planning, monitoring, scrutiny, and leadership. Activities and delivery require micro and macro level consideration across multiple stakeholders, pathways, and technology platforms and systems. This role will play a key part in supporting implementation of this programme, by offering programme support and planning to the Head of Digital Health and Care and other senior leaders. 

The delivery, innovation and growth of this service will be fast-paced, iterative, and hugely exciting. This will be a varied role, with what and how it delivers changing over time.

 Who we are looking for:

• Someone with whom this challenge resonates, and who wants to work as part of a dynamic, multi-disciplinary and forward-thinking team. 
• An individual with good experience of managing projects and programmes of scale and complexity. 
• Someone who can work well autonomously and take ownership of planning and project management, as well as collaboratively as part of a wider team or engaging with myriad stakeholders across internal and external teams and functions.
• An individual who is adaptable, driven, kind, and wants to improve the quality of life for people in Greenwich.
