Relate is planning an ambitious new response to helping the four million people who currently benefit from our services and support, and the many more who could do so in future.

We’re planning to change our relationship with those we exist to support: we want people to not only to come to Relate in times of crisis but to develop a life-long relationship with us where our services and support are accessed at key life transition points. We want to be there to strengthen the nation’s relationships throughout life in ways that work for each individual.

Understanding our users and the wider context in which we’re working will be key to achieving this ambition. We want to build strong and meaningful relationships with relevant communities to inform, test, promote and join our work – and, crucially, to continually learn from one another. Learning from these relationships and adapting our services, support and channels appropriately will be central to helping more people in more ways that work.

Working closely with the Deputy Director for Innovation and Impact, you will work across our charities, Equinox and Penrose, to support the development and implementation of new services as well as enhancing learning in existing projects.  You will manage a virtual team of experts from across the Social Interest Group, specially selected for each project you will work on, and will lead on ensuring consistent project management tools and approaches are adopted across the wider organisation.

The Social Interest Group is a forward looking charity providing services and support for people who are often the most excluded in society and have experience of trauma, substance misuse, mental health issues, homelessness and the criminal justice system.  We are committed to meaningful service user involvement and creating Enabling Environments using psychologically and trauma-informed approaches.

If you are an ambitious project manager and want to make a real difference to the lives of people with multiple and complex needs, we would like to hear from you.  We can offer you flexible working hours and locations,  a package of health care benefits, 28 days holidays a year, ongoing training and professional development.  Above all, you will get to work with a passionate team who genuinely care about the people we work with in a creative and supportive environment.

Our services are spread across London, Bedfordshire and Brighton, so regular travelling will be required.
