Project Support Manager

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Support Manager to join our growing team at Health Technology Wale (HTW). HTW is funded by Welsh Government and hosted by Velindre NHS Trust. The purpose of HTW is to identify, appraise, promote, enable and measure the adoption of health technologies across NHS Wales, linking into national agendas for innovation and prudent healthcare.

HTW appraise the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of non-medicine health technologies in Wales, working with, but independently, of NHS Wales. HTW is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Project Support Manager on a permanent basis. This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Support Manager to assist the development of medical technology guidance. This will involve monitoring projects on a day-to-day basis, supporting the key stages of our appraisal process and liaising with relevant stakeholder groups.

This position is a perfect opportunity for someone who is looking to develop their skills in a varied and interesting role. This is a hybrid working position which is predominantly home-based with the benefit of an office base in Cardiff. Flexible working, part time or job share arrangements will be considered. English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply

This dynamic, fast-paced role sits at the heart of HTW's project management function and offers an excellent opportunity to develop your skills and have a meaningful impact. Working closely with the Project Manager and Senior Programme Manager, you'll help keep projects running smoothly by maintaining accurate documentation, supporting key processes, and ensuring high-quality information is available for reporting to Velindre University NHS Trust and Welsh Government.

We're looking for someone organised, detail-focused, and confident managing multiple projects and priorities. Strong project management skills are essential, and experience of MS Project would be a real advantage. As the first point of contact for internal and external enquiries, you'll provide professional, high level administrative support and play an active role in project planning and delivery. Experience of working in the NHS will be highly beneficial.

If you're an excellent communicator, comfortable implementing new processes, and able to work independently using your initiative, this role offers plenty of scope to grow and thrive.

Here at Velindre University NHS Trust we are extremely proud of the specialist services we provide across the whole of Wales in our cutting-edge
Velindre Cancer Centre and ouraward-winning Welsh Blood Service
, as well as the expertise of our corporate functions that bring the two divisions together. We are also fortunate to host the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership and Health Technology Wales and have developed strong partnership working with these expert services.
