Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre (DHI) brings together Scotland's public sector, academia, charities and industry to create new ways of working, and to co-design digital solutions to some of the country's biggest health and care challenges. Our unique needs-led approach is an essential link between the Scottish Government’s national priorities and the wealth of talent across different sectors and communities in Scotland. This creates opportunities for innovators, entrepreneurs and enterprises to develop proven, scalable, and commercially viable solutions for use across Scotland and for export to other markets. That also helps Scotland to be at the forefront of the growing global digital health and care economy through developing the right workforce, infrastructure, and policies to attract investment and new jobs.

Our Innovation Centre is hosted by the University of Strathclyde and we are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Programme Manager with change management skills. This position will suit someone that has strong experience in digital heath and care, with the leadership skills in delivering programmes of work and projects that enable change using digital within this sector.

Applications are invited from candidates seeking a challenging role. The successful candidate will lead a significant programme of work with a high national profile around the Moray Growth Deal. The Programme Manager will work closely day to day with the Commercial Innovation Lead also based in the Moray region. The Programme Manager will manage a small team of Project Leads and will be based in the Moray region, whilst reporting to the Director of Performance and Planning based in Glasgow.

The Programme Manager will also report on the programme of work into the Programme Management Office, also based in Glasgow. Some travel will be expected as the Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre has a national remit. Working arrangements will be flexed in accordance with requirements regarding the pandemic.  

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Janette Hughes, DHI Director of Planning and Performance (janette.hughes@dhi-scotland.com).

It is anticipated that formal interviews for this post will be held in March.
