About the role

Overview

Millbank Office, SW1P 3JA
Full Time
60,000.00 GBP Annual
4 March 2026

Helping others improve and turn their lives around – there’s no better feeling. It’s what we do for thousands of people at more than 150 sites across the UK. Be a part of it.

The Systems Change Manager will play a key hands-on role in supporting the successful adoption of digital change across Cygnet’s healthcare services. Sitting within the Project Management Office (PMO) in the Digital Services team, this role will focus on practical change delivery across multiple concurrent programmes, working in fast-paced, evolving and often ambiguous environments.

This role is ideally suited to someone with experience in clinical, healthcare, or similarly regulated settings, who is comfortable operating within governance, safety and compliance constraints while still enabling progress and momentum. The postholder will work across clinical, operational and corporate systems and will be expected to pick up projects quickly and operate with minimal supervision, applying established change management methodologies in practice.

The Systems Change Manager will work closely with Project Managers, Business Analysts, Digital Services, Learning & Development (L&D), and frontline stakeholders to ensure that system implementations are supported by effective stakeholder engagement, change impact assessment, communications, training support and post-go-live reinforcement.

This is a delivery-focused role and forms a key part of the PMO change capability, supporting both clinical and non-clinical transformation initiatives.

Scope of Systems

The role will support change across a broad portfolio, including:

  • Clinical systems (e.g. electronic patient records, prescribing systems)
  • Operational systems (e.g. audit platforms, workforce management, governance tools)
  • Business and corporate systems (e.g. HR, recruitment, learning, finance, collaboration tools)

Key Responsibilities

Change Delivery & Adoption Support

Independently deliver core change management activities across multiple projects, including:

  • Stakeholder analysis and engagement planning
  • Change impact assessments
  • Communications planning and delivery
  • Readiness and adoption assessments
  • Apply change management methodologies pragmatically, adapting approach to suit project maturity, risk and pace.
  • Operate confidently in environments with evolving scope, incomplete information and competing priorities.

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

  • Build effective working relationships with clinical, operational, and corporate stakeholders at all levels.
  • Support Project Managers and Business Analysts to embed change thinking into project plans and delivery.
  • Work with clinical and operational teams to validate “real-world” workflows and identify adoption risks early.
  • Act as a trusted delivery partner, balancing challenge with pragmatism in regulated settings.

Training Support & PMO–L&D Interface

  • Support the coordination and delivery of training activity for system implementations, working alongside L&D and project teams.
  • Bridge the gap between project-led change and business-as-usual learning, helping ensure training approaches are realistic, role-appropriate and sustainable.
  • Where required, contribute directly to training delivery (e.g. facilitating sessions, supporting hands-on learning), even where this has not been the primary focus of previous roles.

Super Users (Project-Specific)

  • Support the identification and engagement of project-specific Super Users or local experts, where required by individual programmes.
  • Help clarify expectations, responsibilities and escalation routes for Super Users during delivery and go-live.
  • Ensure Super User input informs change planning, communications and training approaches.

Post-Go-Live Support & Continuous Improvement

  • Support post-go-live stabilisation activities, including targeted reinforcement, follow-up engagement and issue triage.
  • Capture lessons learned and feed practical insights back into PMO ways of working.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of change tools, templates and approaches across the portfolio.
