Job title: IT Project Manager
Salary: £48,000
Location: Putney, London/Hybrid (minimum 2-3 days on site per week)
Contract: Permanent, full time
Closing date: 5th July 2026
To apply for the role, you will need to submit your CV and also a cover letter supporting your application.
We’re looking for an IT Projects Manager to join a small, busy IT team at the UK’s leading specialist centre for complex neuro-disability. The work matters. The projects you deliver help our clinical, operational and corporate teams give better care to the people who depend on us.
You’ll own a varied portfolio of IT projects from start to finish: planning, budgets, suppliers, risk, governance and delivery. We want a project manager who can work both in the detail of a project plan one day, and shaping the bigger picture with senior leadership the next. This is a central role in a small technology team, so your judgement and the relationships you build will really count.
What you’ll bring
- A track record of delivering IT projects to time, cost and quality in a complex organisation
- Strong people skills, so you can talk to clinicians, senior leaders and suppliers and be understood by all of them
- A practical, problem-solving approach to risk, change and competing priorities

A note on AI, and how we recruit
We expect our IT Projects Manager to use AI well, and we’d like to hear how you’d do it. In your own words, tell us where AI genuinely helps you work better: planning, tracking, reporting, managing risk. Real examples, please.
What we don’t want is a cover letter written by AI. We won’t use AI to screen applications. Every submission is read by a real person on our team, so it is worth taking the time to write a proper cover letter about your real skills, experience and the way you work.
We want to hear from you, in your own voice. If you want to make a difference, work alongside good people, and help drive change in a specialist care setting, we’d like to hear from you.
Why the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is a great place to work:
-
Generous Annual Leave entitlement
-
Free counselling and therapy sessions and other mental wellbeing support through our partner CIC Wellbeing
-
Get involved in our free on-site wellbeing programs, including weekly yoga, and monthly pottery club (we are the UK’s only hospital with its own kiln)!
-

-
Financial support services such as low-interest loans and help with savings accounts through our partnership with London Capital Credit Union.
-
Join our wellbeing networks to connect with people in our hospital; we have a Pride network, Women’s network, and our Race Equality network. We also have heritage events to celebrate the diversity of our workforce – most recently we had a South East Asian celebration.
-
Free on-site parking (rare in London!)
-

Who We Are
The Race Equality Foundation is a national charity working to tackle systemic racism and create the conditions for everyone to live healthy, secure and fulfilling lives and we are looking to appoint a Head of Operations.
We combine evidence, co-production and practical action to address the root causes of racial inequality. Our work focuses not only on identifying inequality, but on challenging the structural racism, discrimination and unequal distribution of power that drive them. We work alongside communities, practitioners, policymakers and institutions to develop evidence-informed solutions that improve services, strengthen communities and promote racial justice.
Today, our work spans health and care, employment, housing and community wellbeing. Through partnerships, research, training and policy influence, we continue to demonstrate what meaningful anti-racist systems change can look like in practice.
We are based in London but have a national remit.
Job description
We are entering a period of organisational growth and staff restructure, and the Head of Operations will be a new post at REF. The postholder will be ready to get stuck in, helping us to identify and address operational challenges before they become problems and reduce unnecessary demands on managers and senior leaders. We are looking for an effective communicator to ensure that people, systems, and resources support the Foundation's mission and enable staff to do their best work. We are not looking for someone who believes every challenge requires a new process. We are looking for someone who can exercise sound judgement, introduce structure where it adds value and help create the conditions in which staff and managers can focus on delivering impact.
The postholder will be expected to bring a strong commitment to anti-racism, equity and inclusion in the way they approach organisational development and operational leadership.
