Project Officer

Sep 2021 - Jan 2023
Promoted from Project Officer to work as part of a team to establish a Project Management Office within Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals Foundation Trust.With the supervision of our Director and Project Management Consultant, our team helped establish the PMO, through the creation of governance and reporting tools. These tools were successful, as evidence by their utilisation on our first project where we managed the build of a new Day Treatment Centre (DTC) at the Freeman Hospital. The DTC was a huge collaborative effort from a multiplicity of disciplines and teams, and our role was to bring these MDT's together, collaborate, and plan to ensure a timely, in-budget opening of the facility, which we completed.Following this, we were then tasked with the management of the Trust's Cost Improvement Programme (CIP), which has become an annual, rolling task for the PMO.
