The Cost Improvement Programme (CIP) is seeking to recruit Senior Cost Improvement Managers to provide senior change leadership that influences, identifies, drives, and delivers measurable cost improvement. 

Cost and efficiency improvement is an important corporate function within UHS. Reducing the cost of our services whilst maintaining quality and patient outcomes enables the organisation to ensure that every pound of NHS funding provides as much patient benefit as possible and meets our obligation to deliver a financially balanced budget.

Our team is based in Trust Headquarters and is part of the Finance Directorate. You'll work with both the Head of PMO and a team of Cost Improvement Managers, who are aligned to each of the clinical divisions. We worked in a programmatic way, underpinned by the trust's monthly financial cycle and our divisional Value for Money review meetings. We operate with a mixture of on-site and remote working.
