Project Co-ordinator

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and highly organised Project Co-ordinator to support the delivery of a nationally significant workforce development programme for the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP).

This 12-month fixed-term role will coordinate the BCSP Accreditation and Mentorship Programme at a national level, supporting work across England rather than within a single region. The programme aims to increase the number of accredited BCSP endoscopists and help services prepare for the anticipated rise in demand associated with FIT80 implementation and the expansion of bowel cancer screening .

Based within the North West Endoscopy Academy, the successful candidate will work as part of the Academy team while collaborating with multidisciplinary colleagues across England. This will include clinical leads, mentors, Higher Education Institution partners, NHS England colleagues, screening centres and representatives from Endoscopy Training Academies in other regions.

Acting as the central point of coordination, the postholder will support delivery to agreed timescales, monitor progress against key milestones and provide high-quality project management support to this complex national initiative. The role offers a valuable opportunity to build relationships across regions and professions while contributing to a programme with national impact.

The post holder will lead the day-to-day coordination of the project and will be responsible for:

Maintaining project plans and ensuring delivery milestones are met.

Coordinating trainee recruitment, onboarding and engagement activities.

Collecting, monitoring and analysing programme data.

Producing regular reports, dashboards and performance updates for governance groups.

Supporting programme evaluation and the collection of outcome measures.

Organising meetings, webinars, workshops and stakeholder events.

Maintaining risk, issue and action logs and supporting mitigation plans.

Developing effective working relationships with regional and national stakeholders.

Liaising with trainees, mentors, Academy Leads, NHS England, higher education partners and screening centres.

Supporting communication and engagement activities across all participating academies.

Ensuring accurate documentation and audit trails are maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
