About us  

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values: 

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community 

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background.

Sheffield Cathedral is embarking on an ambitious seven-year journey as a resourcing cathedral, pioneering mission in the inclusive catholic tradition. At the heart of this vision is the creation of the Community of St Paulinus (CsP), a new non-residential mission community rooted in daily prayer and committed to revitalising parishes and planting new worshipping communities across the Diocese.

To help deliver this exciting work, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the Project Resource Team and ensure the smooth running of this initiative. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on strategy and delivery, is highly organised, and has experience managing complex projects—preferably within a church, charity, or community setting.

What you’ll do:

• Lead and coordinate a small, agile Project Resource Team

• Develop and oversee delivery plans for the seven-year project

• Support monitoring, evaluation and reporting for national funders

• Build strong partnerships across parishes, the CsP, and other stakeholders

• Ensure logistics and administration run smoothly for events, placements, and new initiatives

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has at least three years’ experience in project management or operations

• Can work collaboratively and lead with vision and adaptability

• Is committed to inclusive Christian mission and values

This is more than a management role—it’s a chance to shape a pioneering model of cathedral-based mission and help create sustainable, vibrant worshipping communities in Sheffield and beyond.

For over 40 years, Sister Circle has stood beside women facing complex health and social challenges. From navigating maternity care to accessing women's health support, our trained volunteers walk alongside other women with compassion, understanding, and advocacy. Our volunteers form a community of women bound by a shared passion for making a difference for other women. Our volunteers are the golden threads, holding our programmes together, bringing possibility to everything we do. They are our Maternity Mates, peer group supporters for those who have expereinced birth trauma or baby loss, trainee counsellors, language translators and so much more. 

We are looking for a passionate, organised, and person-focused individual to guide our volunteers through their training and support journeys — from that very first conversation to being fully prepared and confident in their volunteer role. You will coordinate and lead on tasks that ensure a smooth, supportive volunteer experience where each thrives, while also creating spaces for connection, celebration, and storytelling.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is highly organised and confident managing multiple priorities.
• Has experience of working with volunteers from diverse and marginalised backgrounds
• Has a commitment to safeguarding, trauma-informed and culturally sensitive practice
• Communicates with warmth, empathy, and clarity.
• Builds trust and strong relationships across diverse communities.
• Enjoys celebrating the achievments of volunteers and showing how much they are appreciated
• Is comfortable with admin, databases, and digital tools.
• Can balance attention to detail with big-picture thinking.

This is a role for someone who loves both the detail and connection — someone who believes in the power of women lifting each other up.
