Carers are at the heart of everything we do. That's because unpaid carers are the people holding their communities together. Caring can be rewarding, but far too many carers are facing tough life challenges that can make it hard to keep on going. It could be money worries because they've had to give up work or the sheer exhaustion that can come from caring. Carers, of all ages, including young carers, need much more support. And that's why we're on their side, fighting for the recognition they deserve and delivering the services they need most.
We do this by partnering with our UK-wide network of local organisations, who collectively reached over one million carers last year. We work with our network to deliver the best possible support for carers - both nationally and locally. At a national level we raise funds, influence governments and campaign for change. Then we turn this into what carers really need: small grants, up-to-date information and practical support.
Our ideal candidate:
- Proven experience in project management using Agile and Waterfall approaches, particularly in CRM implementation or similar digital transformation projects.
- Strong understanding of Dynamics / Salesforce CRM systems and their application in a non-profit or charity context.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
