Care management jobs

We're looking for an ambitious and influential Manager, Physics Workforce on a full-time, permanent basis, to lead research, insight and engagement that helps our stakeholders better appreciate and understand the value of physics skills, the workforce challenges facing physics-powered sectors, and identify solutions that make a lasting difference.

Physics for our future. From clean energy and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, defence, digital technologies and emerging industries, physics skills are critical to economic growth, innovation and solving global challenges. Yet, at the same time, the contribution of physics skills remains poorly understood and often invisible in national workforce conversations. The Institute of Physics is determined to change that.

Why this role matters. Our vision is a world where physics transforms lives, creates opportunity and helps tackle society's biggest challenges. The Manager, Physics Workforce will play a central role in building evidence and supporting the translation of insight into action.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape national conversations. You'll uncover evidence that informs decision-making, develop thought leadership that challenges assumptions, and support the building of partnerships that drive positive change across industry, education and government.

What will I be doing? As Manager, Physics Workforce, you'll help position the IOP as a trusted authority on workforce and physics skills issues. You will:

• Lead high-profile workforce and skills research programmes across the UK and Ireland.
• Develop compelling evidence and insight that supports change and informs decision-making.
• Translate complex evidence into clear, persuasive narratives that inspire action.
• Produce influential reports, briefings and thought leadership.
• Identify emerging workforce trends and opportunities.
• Contribute to skills and workforce activity across our strategic priorities of Skills, Science and Society.

In doing the above you'll help:

• Raise awareness of the economic value of physics skills.
• Influence workforce and skills policy and investment at national and regional levels.
• Support physics-powered sectors to thrive.
• Raise the visibility of pathways into physics-powered careers.
• Ensure evidence drives action across the physics skills ecosystem.
• Help create a stronger, more diverse and more future-ready workforce.

Who will I work with? You'll engage with a diverse network of influential stakeholders, including industry leaders and employers; sector bodies and workforce experts; policymakers and strategic influencers; members of our physics community, and colleagues across the IOP.

This is a role for a strategic thinker, someone who enjoys collaboration and working across organisational and sector boundaries.

About you. You're naturally curious, motivated by impact and comfortable navigating complex challenges. You know how to turn evidence into influence and insight into action.

You may already be working in:

• Workforce development, skills/STEM policy or public affairs, or labour market research and analysis.

Most importantly, you'll bring:

• Exceptional research and analytical capability, with the ability to create compelling narratives from data and evidence.
• Domain knowledge and understanding of the complexities of the skills ecosystem.
• Strong project and programme leadership experience.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
• A track record of delivering work that informs decisions and drives change.

Why join the Institute of Physics, the professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland? The IOP is a friendly, inclusive and ambitious organisation, where diversity and inclusion are central to how we work. We focus on supporting our people to thrive, offering competitive pay, great development opportunities and a generous benefits package.

Some of our benefits include:

• An excellent pension scheme
• Private medical insurance, life assurance, dental insurance and a healthcare cash plan
• Eye care vouchers, annual flu vaccinations, long service awards and access to an employee assistance programme

Our current strategy, Physics for our future, is built around three priorities: Skills. Science. Society. Everything we do is focused on creating positive impact through those priorities. As a core part of our Workforce and HE team, you will have an opportunity to make a tangible contribution to all three.

If you're excited by the idea of combining research, influence, stakeholder insight and thought leadership to tackle some of the most important workforce challenges facing physics-powered sectors, we'd love to hear from you!

How to apply. Alongside your CV, please include a cover letter explaining how you meet the person specification. Where possible, please give examples of thought leadership you have developed and the impact it had.

An opportunity to play a pivotal leadership role in a highly respected local charity that makes a real difference to people affected by cancer across West Berkshire.

As Director of Operations at Newbury Cancer Care, you will be at the heart of the charity, leading its day-to-day operations and working closely with the Board of Trustees, employees, volunteers, healthcare partners and the wider local community.

This is a broad, hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys making things happen. You will provide direction and support to the team, ensure the charity operates effectively and responsibly, build strong relationships across our network and help ensure our services continue to meet the needs of local cancer patients and their families.

We are looking for a confident, compassionate and highly organised individual who can work independently, motivate others and comfortably move between strategic conversations and the practical realities of running a small charity. Experience within the charity sector would be particularly valuable, as would knowledge of charity governance, the NHS or fundraising, but equally important is an understanding of what it takes to lead a purpose-driven organisation where people and community are at the centre of everything we do.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to take on a genuinely varied and rewarding role with considerable autonomy and the chance to make a visible difference within the local community.

What you'll be doing

• Lead the operational management of Newbury Cancer Care
• Build strong relationships with trustees, volunteers, NHS teams and community partners
• Support the development of new services and future strategy
• Ensure the charity meets governance and Charity Commission requirements
• Manage budgets and financial reporting using Sage
• Lead and support volunteers, including recruitment and development
• Oversee office administration, communications and publicity
• Help identify fundraising opportunities and support community engagement
• Represent the charity at meetings, events and presentations
• Drive continuous improvement to ensure we deliver the very best support for local people affected by cancer.

About you

We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable thinking strategically and rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

You'll be:

• A self-starter who enjoys working independently
• An experienced operational or charity leader
• Comfortable working with a Board of Trustees
• A confident people manager with excellent relationship-building skills
• Organised, pragmatic and able to manage multiple priorities
• Financially confident, with experience using accounting software such as Sage
• A strong communicator with excellent networking skills
• Emotionally resilient and compassionate, with the ability to support people facing difficult circumstances
• Confident using Microsoft Office and digital tools, including social media.

We'd also love to hear from you if you have experience of:

• Working within the charity sector
• NHS or healthcare environments
• Charity governance
• Fundraising and community engagement.

Why join us?

This is more than an operations role.

It's an opportunity to lead a respected local charity that genuinely changes lives every day. You'll work alongside passionate trustees, dedicated volunteers and healthcare professionals, helping ensure people affected by cancer receive the support they need, when they need it most.

As Hospice Services Manager you will play a critical role in creating an environment where patients and families feel welcomed, cared for and supported throughout their hospice journey.  This is far more than a facilities or hospitality management role.  It is an opportunity to lead the services that bring warmth, comfort, dignity and joy to the everyday experiences of those in our care.

Working closely with clinical colleagues, volunteers and support services teams, you will ensure the seamless delivery of housekeeping, catering, administrative and maintenance services while helping create the special moments that make our hospices unique.

This is an exciting leadership role for a highly organised, compassionate and solutions-focused individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys leading people, and takes pride in making things happen.
