Together, let’s commit to change for kinship families.
About the role
Kinship is undertaking a major feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) of Kinship Connected. This is aligned with recommendations set out in the Kinship Care Practice Guide published by Foundations (2024) and builds on evidence from the Kinship Navigator intervention of support for kinship carers in the USA.
This feasibility RCT is a complex, multi-partner programme involving:
- An active funding partner

The Mobilisation and Delivery Project Manager is the operational engine of the programme, ensuring that every workstream is scoped, resourced, sequenced, delivered and evidenced, and that Kinship is trial-ready, compliant, and well-coordinated through set-up and delivery.
This role needs someone who is an excellent communicator, highly organised, unflappable, curious, and able to sit comfortably in the detail. The successful person will keep a firm grip on timelines, dependencies and risks.
You will manage a Programmes Officer as well as the set-up, processes, documentation, reporting, trial readiness, communications and cross-team coordination.

- Develop all processes, documentation and operational frameworks in line with the intervention protocol.
- Coordinate local authority onboarding, staff training and internal operational setup with the Programmes Manager.
- Work with internal Kinship teams to ensure everyone has clear expectations and is held to account for their performance during mobilisation and delivery – owning the workstreams.
-
Ensure weekly pipeline monitoring for treatment and control recruitment.
-
Work with the Programmes Manager and Kinship Family Workers to strengthen referral and screening processes where appropriate.
-
Identify recruitment risks early and drive rapid problem-solving.
-
Maintain delivery tracking and operational dashboards.
-
Identify throughput or workload risks and support adjustments.
-
Lead operational quality assurance (QA) including data quality checks, file audits and process compliance.
-
Coordinate data collection, monitoring and data quality for evaluator requirements (both treatment and control).
Essential knowledge and experience includes:
-
Project Management Qualification or commensurate experience.
-
Significant experience managing complex projects or programmes with multiple partners and tight delivery requirements.
-
Proven experience designing and maintaining structured workflows, operational systems and project plans in fast-paced environments.
-
Experience coordinating across multidisciplinary teams without direct line management responsibility.
-
Strong background in quality assurance, process improvement and operational risk management.
-
Experience translating evaluation, compliance or regulatory requirements into practical delivery processes.
-
Experience developing and maintaining documentation, SOPs, manuals and operational toolkits.
-
Experience working with data for monitoring, decision making and evaluation readiness.
