We are looking for a collaborative, driven and problem-solving candidate to design and lead our core support projects and improve the way we make life better for people affected by aplastic anaemia.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high performing team within the AAT. Our team is small, but mighty.

Lived experience is hugely important to us but is not an essential criterion for this role.

As part of the Senior Management Team, you will bring the process, structure and programme-oriented approach to our successful range of support services. You will be helping to give people living with aplastic anaemia access to better information, better networks and better ways to advocate for themselves.

About the role

We’re seeking an exceptional and experienced project manager to deliver a pivotal role within our ground-breaking national Kinship Training and Support Service, funded by the Department for Education.

The type of person we're looking for

You’ll have extensive experience in successful delivery of complex projects that include multiple workstreams and a range of internal and external stakeholders, with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Through your experience of planning, monitoring and controlling project delivery, you’ll quickly set up the necessary systems and processes for success.

You’ll bring strong leadership and communication skills to designing and implementing integrated plans, agreeing deliverables and ensuring accountability.
