Project Manager – Permanent - Outreach

Are you an experienced project manager with national engagement expertise? If so, you could help improve patient care through strategic delivery of key projects to support good, safe patient care.

The GMC helps to protect patients and improve medical education and practice in the UK by setting standards for doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs). We support them in achieving (and exceeding) those standards, working directly with them and their educators and employers, and take action when they are not met.

The role is based within our Outreach team, which collaborates and engages with a range of stakeholders. You’ll have experience of communicating with a diverse range of audiences both face to face and virtually, and you’ll have outstanding relationship management skills at senior level. We’ll provide you with all the training you need about the health sector to be successful in this role.
