University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for the detailed job description of the role.

Approved for internal recruitment, including NHSP workers.

Whilst based in the HR team, this role works closely with all areas of the People Directorate, as well as the wider trust, including our UEL (Estates), Finance and Procurement teams to deliver a range of projects focused on people experience.

The key focus of this role in the short to medium term will be project management of the Future Workforce Solution, replacing ESR. You will also be responsible for reviewing desk/space allocation through the Matrix system, linked to our agile, flexible working offering and processes.

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients. 

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.

This role requires excellent planning, governance and project management skills with a particular focus on the ability to influence senior stakeholders, clinical and non-clinical, internal and external.
You will love a spreadsheet, prioritise a project plan, enjoy evaluating impact and benefits delivered and possess significant patience and attention to detail. It is essential that you have experience in change management related to people systems. 

This role will also be responsible for picking up additional, ad hoc people-related project work, so will require strong and proven HR knowledge, including employment law, TUPE, pay and reward and procurement. 
We can offer flexible working in terms of hours and on/offsite working, but as this role will require flexibility in terms of days/times on-site, we are unable to offer a set pattern as this is based on the availability of key stakeholders.
