Supporter engagement manager jobs in South bucks, buckinghamshire

Doing Good Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Cornerstone Place on the appointment of a Project Delivery Manager.

At Cornerstone Place, we are seeking an exceptional Project Delivery Manager to join our high‑performing, mission‑driven team at a pivotal moment in our journey. This role will play a critical part in delivering our Impact First Social Housing® projects, creating safe, stable homes for people who need them most, keeping the assets in the hands of the impact makers.

The position is offered on a permanent basis, with flexible remote working and regular national travel to project sites across England.

Who We Are

Cornerstone Place is a multi‑award‑winning social enterprise with a bold ambition to create 100,000 high‑quality social homes by 2034. We exist because the current system is failing too many people: over a million households are waiting for social housing, the country spends £2.2 billion every year on poor‑quality temporary accommodation including, tragically, for over 175,000 children, and families are growing up without stability or security.

We are not a developer seeking margin. We deliver 100% social housing, 0% profit, working with local authorities, registered providers and charities to ensure homes remain in long‑term community ownership. As we enter our next phase of growth, this role will be instrumental in turning bold ambition into lived reality for thousands of people.

The Role

Working closely with our Co‑Founders and partners, you will help deliver complex projects to the highest standards, contribute to the evolution of our systems and processes, and ensure every decision is grounded in impact, quality and long‑term social value. You will translate strategy into delivery, confront challenges honestly, and help drive forward an organisation recognised as one of the UK’s most influential social enterprises; named on the NatWest SE100 list for two years running, with our Co-Founders honoured on the SE100 Pioneers list as leaders shaping the future of the sector.

Day to day, you will take ownership of multiple live projects at varying stages, from pre‑application engagement and support through the planning process, to end‑to‑end delivery, working closely with clients, design teams and professional consultants throughout. You will be responsible for managing consultants, budgets, programmes, on‑site delivery, safety compliance, stakeholder communication, team coordination, and clear reporting to senior leaders and clients.

About You

You will bring accomplished project management skills, experience in housing or construction environments, and a proven ability to lead partners and manage stakeholders with confidence. Highly organised and detail‑driven, you combine strong problem‑solving, decision‑making, communication and negotiation skills with a track record of delivery. You will also be comfortable working across multiple IT systems and curious about how AI can enhance project management, streamline processes and strengthen outcomes. While not essential, MRICS accreditation or a BSc in Construction Management would be beneficial.

We are deliberately open about who this role could be for. You may be an experienced professional with strong sector credibility, ready to apply your expertise where it can have generational impact. Or you may be earlier in your career, with the capability, values and drive to grow quickly in a mission‑led environment. What matters most is your commitment to excellence, your comfort with responsibility, and your belief that housing is one of the defining social challenges of our time and that you want to be part of solving it.

Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Cornerstone Place is committed to equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality or socio‑economic background. We recognise that no candidate meets every criterion, and we encourage applications from those who meet most requirements and are motivated by our mission
