Organisational change manager jobs in Birmingham

The Belay Foundation supports adoptive, kinship and special guardianship families raising children who have experienced early developmental trauma, often alongside neurodiversity. Founded in 2020 from lived experience, Belay offers something many families struggle to find elsewhere: practical, in-home support and expert guidance that’s genuinely trauma-responsive, delivered by people who understand what these families are living through.

Why now? - Belay has just spent a year strengthening its foundations - redesigning services, building organisational capacity and setting an ambitious growth plan. The groundwork is done. What we need now is a permanent CEO with the vision to take a small, high-impact charity and turn real momentum into lasting change - for families and for how the sector understands and responds to developmental trauma.

About the role - You’ll provide strategic and financial leadership across a small team, working closely with an exceptional Board and Belay’s Founder, who remains closely involved as Services Director. You’ll lead fundraising and income diversification, shape Belay’s public voice and ensure the organisation’s trauma-responsive, DDP-informed model continues to deliver real impact as it scales.

This is a rare chance to take the helm of an organisation with an innovative model, a loyal community and genuine room to grow - and to leave your mark on how the UK supports some of its most vulnerable children and families.

Delivery Manager (Climate Action Fund Training and Development)  
Reference: DM07
Location: Home-based (with some travel across the country)
Contract: Fixed term until June 2031
Salary: £30,000 - £34,000 per annum, FTE
Hours: Part-Time, 18.75 hours each week 

Groundwork South is seeking a motivated and experienced part-time Delivery Manager to oversee the delivery of our Climate Action Fund project over the next five years. 

About Us 

Groundwork South works with communities across the south of England to transform their lives and the places where they live. We have been at the forefront of social and environmental regeneration for over 25 years, and today we have a simple mission: to create better places, improve people’s prospects, and promote greener living and working. 

We are passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny, and no-one is held back by their background or circumstances. This vision drives the work that we do. Each year we deliver over 100 innovative projects, tackling the biggest issues facing our communities and creating real and lasting, positive change. 

About the Project 

Communities Prepared works with volunteers and communities across England to help them build the skills, confidence and knowledge needed to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies. This includes supporting communities to plan for climate-related risks such as flooding, storms, heatwaves, and severe weather. 

Despite the successes we have had through our programme to date, we are not currently reaching diverse enough audiences and too often there are people missing from the resilience sector. This needs to change. To address this we are now embarking on an exciting new UK-wide partnership programme funded through the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund over the next five years. 

The programme responds to growing evidence that climate-related emergencies, including extreme heat, flooding, fire, cold and severe weather, disproportionately impact marginalised communities, while those same communities are often excluded from resilience planning and decision-making. 

The programme brings together Equally Ours, Communities Prepared (part of Groundwork South), and the VCS Emergencies Partnership (VCSEP, part of the British Red Cross) to strengthen climate resilience by ensuring that communities experiencing discrimination and disadvantage are at the heart of climate preparedness, response, recovery and policy-making. 

Through a rights-based and co-produced approach, the programme seeks to shift climate resilience policy and practice away from models that frame communities as “vulnerable”, and towards approaches grounded in agency, participation, equality and shared responsibility. 

Key Responsibilities 

As Delivery Manager, you will oversee the development and delivery of specific resilience focussed training and workshops with marginalised communities, with the understanding that our current offer will need to be adapted in line with feedback from these groups. Key tasks include: 

• Overseeing initial stakeholder mapping exercises and the development of a structured engagement plan to recruit and work with marginalised communities.
• Building a collaborative and trusting relationship with the partner organisations and other stakeholders for this project, ensuring this work meets their expectations and complements areas of the work programme led by others, and that learning is shared to support wider programme development and delivery.
• Designing a process to receive constructive feedback from project participants and build this into co-creation / adaption of resilience focused training and workshop resources.
• Developing and overseeing a programme of training, workshops and a train-the-trainer offer with project participants, ensuring an equal environment is created that allows for adaptation based on learning.
• Working with the core Communities Prepared team to adapt our offer with the long-term goal of the Programme reaching more diverse audiences, especially those seldom heard in this sector 

We are looking for someone with: 

• Experience in community engagement or community development. 
• Strong organisational and project management skills. 
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, confident to engage people from a range of different backgrounds. 
• Experience working and collaborating with multiple stakeholders or partners. 
• Confidence working as part of a team, as well as independently in a remote role. 
• An interest in climate change, community resilience and wider community development. 
• A willingness to travel across the country. 

Closing date for applications: 11.59pm, 26th July 2026  
Interview date: 30th July over MS Teams  
Interview panel: Representatives from Groundwork South, Equally Ours and VCSEP (tbc)
