At the Royal College of Nursing, we’re an optimistic organisation. And we’ve got good reason to be. We all share the same voice when it comes to changing the shape of the health policies of the future. And as the largest trade union of nursing staff and students in the UK –ith over half a million members – all we can see are the infinite possibilities for a brighter future. Join us and you will too.

We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.

As the Technical Lead for the Dynamics Replacement Programme, you’ll use your positive attitude, technical skills and programme management experience and your ability to lead on the replacement of our existing Dynamics membership solution.

In this varied role every day will be filled with possibilities. You will be responsible for leading this complex programme from start to finish, including management of programme staff, and be involved in anything from engaging with third parties, to ensuring comprehensive user stories are delivered. It's a great way to build on your existing skills and experience, and further develop your potential.

To join us you’ll need proven programme management skills and, ideally, experience or a background in a relevant area – such as Dynamics 365 programme management or similar technical programme management or technical lead roles. You will be an experienced manager and a confident communicator, with experience of working with senior stakeholders and able to manage budgets.

Whatever your background, you'll be highly efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all that you do.

The ability to foster strong professional relationships and encourage close collaboration between departments is at the heart of this leadership role.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
