ABOUT THE ROLE

NOTE: The title has been changed to Education Project Manager.
This is very much a Project Manager role who would have also experience with events in Education.

Our UK education programme sits at the heart of BPNA’s charitable mission and is a significant source of income - delivering to over 1000 short-course attendees and over 700 conference delegates annually across virtual and face-to-face formats. We also run a distance learning programme and a support new course development, with faculty across the UK.

This is a senior, varied and highly rewarding role. The post-holder works closely with the Director of Education, Executive Director, education committees, and a wide network of faculty and external partners.

As a respected and growing organisation, BPNA is looking for a highly motivated individual who can use their dedication, attention to detail and reliability to help us develop further.
We are seeking to appoint a UK Education Manager to join our small team which is based across our Bolton and London offices. This is a full-time, permanent post based in Bolton, working 37.5 hours a week (7.5 hours per day x 5 days per week).

JOB PURPOSE

The UK Education Manager provides operational leadership and supports strategic direction for BPNA’s UK education portfolio. The role is accountable for the short-course programme (about 36 courses per year), the annual conference, distance learning support, Instructor Training Day, new course development and faculty development. The post oversees budget responsibility for UK Education and Conference income, which together represent a substantial proportion of BPNA’s annual turnover.

This role is based at the Bolton office, where you will lead two of the BPNA Education team while working and liaising with the Education Content Co-Ordinator, based in the London office

The post-holder is an active member of the BPNA Secretariat Management Team, and serves as Secretary to the Education, Quality & Standards Committee and related steering groups. The role requires leadership, sound judgement and a hands-on, highly organised approach to complex programme delivery.

ABOUT YOU

This role would suit an organised, efficient and practical person with excellent interpersonal and communication skills and a good deal of common sense.  You will also have diplomatic skills and the ability to build good relationships.  You will need to be flexible, have an ability to problem-solve on-site and online, organise highly educated people whilst remaining calm and maintaining a sense of humour.

We are looking for someone to join our team who will contribute to maintaining and developing our customer focused ethos.

While this role is primarily based in Bolton, there will be some UK travel with overnight stays to support in-person courses. We offer time off in lieu or overtime paid for additional hours worked.  

WHY COME AND WORK FOR US?

At BPNA, we value a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive work culture. The BPNA is a small organisation with big ambitions, and we work closely together to make an impact. You'll join a welcoming team that values mutual respect, flexibility, and work-life balance. We believe in continuous learning and career progression. As a member of BPNA, you'll have access to ongoing training opportunities and support for professional development, ensuring that you can grow both within this role and across future career aspirations.

We offer 25 days’ annual leave (excluding Bank Holidays) plus an additional day leave for birthday, rising to 30 days after 10 years of service and access to the Nest Pension scheme, with 7% employer contribution.

LOCATION

While this role is based in Bolton, BPNA offers hybrid working arrangements, enabling you to balance time between working from our office and from home.

With your line manager and the team you oversee, you will agree how much time you will be required to work in the office and how frequently, to achieve productivity and service levels. This could vary week to week. You should anticipate spending an increased amount of time in the office during your probationary period.
