The vision of Church of England Birmingham (CofEB) is ‘Growing churches at the heart of each community’. These churches will be diverse, welcoming, sustainable and vibrant; having a positive impact on their communities by demonstrating the love of God. We have recently been carrying out a review of our strategy and aligning all our projects to this. There are a wide range of projects within this strategy including new Christian communities, leadership formation and development projects, structural and governance projects, children and families engagement projects and much more. These projects are all led by passionate experts who are creative and engaged, but not always equipped with a project skill set.
We are looking to recruit a Project Manager to join our newly formed Project Management Office (PMO). They will work with project leads to manage a number of projects to make sure they are well planned, financially robust and that they have everything in place to make the desired impact. The Project Manager will also work with Programme Managers, and other key staff, to ensure projects reports feed into wider Governance structures and deliver on funder requirements.
This is a new opportunity for someone who loves supporting teams in running projects efficiently and effectively to maximise their impact. Together we will see churches growing at the heart of communities making a real impact on the communities they serve.

At Family Holiday Charity we use systems across all of our work – from managing relationships with our supporters and families to keeping on top of our finances. But our current systems are now not fit for purpose and we are investing in new technology. A recent review identified the benefits of shifting to a platform approach. Now we want to move forward with selecting a platform and systematically replacing our current systems and tools.
Ultimately, better systems will mean more efficient and productive relationships, which means more income and more holidays for families facing tough times like bereavement, isolation or long-term illness. Even a short holiday away from the day to day helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.
The biggest priority for improvement is the CRM which is why it’s the first on the list once we’ve decided which way to go for a platform. This work really will be pivotal to the future success of the charity so it’s crucial we get it right.
Here’s where YOU come in.
This role of CRM Project Manager will lead the selection of a platform and a CRM, helping us to find and implement the right solutions and establish a strong yet flexible foundation for the future. Crucially you’ll need to bring the whole organisation on the journey together so that whatever solutions we implement are readily adopted and integrated into ways of working.
You’ll have experience of successfully implementing platform technology and CRM in a charity and a good understanding of the products available in the market. A collaborative worker, you’ll have the skills to work with diverse teams to really understand their requirements and enable them to input into the work and feel part of the process.
It’s a long term investment and the decisions we make will have a lasting impact so you’ll be comfortable engaging senior leaders and the Board to connect strategic goals to tech solutions.
It's an exciting time for the charity as we invest across all our fundraising streams, extend our reach to new communities and deliver major new partnerships. You can lead us through this change to our systems and out the other side to a new landscape from which we can really accelerate the positive progress the charity is making.
This is a full-time hybrid role, working collaboratively with others in our Hub near Borough typically for two days per week and spending the rest at home. You’ll report to the Chief Executive and you’ll work actively with all of our staff.
It's a great time to join us and make a real difference! Do ask if you have any questions, otherwise please submit your CV and a covering letter explaining why think this role might be right for you.

We have a fantastic opportunity to really make a difference in health care and equity as a Project Manager. During this pandemic we will all have been touched with how important health care is in the South West, and how our region has been affected, and subsequently our health care systems. If you have a passion for working in an organisation that makes a tangible hands-on difference to the community and improves the health and economy of the South West, this role could be for you!
The South West Academic Health Science Network (South West AHSN) is one of 15 AHSNs across the country set up by NHS England to spread innovation at pace and scale across the country. We are uniquely placed to connect NHS and academic organisations, local authorities, the third sector and industry, using our position to drive the adoption and spread of innovative ideas and technologies across large populations. Our remit covers Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, taking in urban areas and tackling the challenges associated with pockets of deep, long-standing and increasing deprivation, an aging population, children living in poverty, and a dispersed and sometimes isolated population. A major focus for us over the next five years is improving health equity through innovation.
We are growing our Programmes function to deliver the aims and ambitions of our new five-year strategy. This is an exciting period of growth and to support this we are seeking a Project Manager to help manage the development and delivery of one of our key programmes.
You will be working with healthcare suppliers, NHS Trusts and NHS Commissioners to get new innovations funded and adopted. Your role is vital in our ambition to spread innovative practice leading to improved health and care for the people in our region, and more widely through our national network.
Reporting to a Programme Manager, your key responsibilities will include:
- Delivering individual projects, including the development and ownership of project plans as well as identifying risks and issues and proactively mitigating them.
- Implementing our project management and quality improvement methods to ensure effective running of projects.
- Providing regular, accurate and detailed reporting on project performance.
- Engaging with key stakeholders and patient and public representatives in developing projects, including coordinating and facilitating events in support of implementation.
- Working with our communications and engagement function to engage partners in our projects, communicate the impact of our work and raise our profile at a regional and national level.
- Working with our evaluation and learning function to define and measure the impact.
- Capturing and sharing learning from implementation to share with the wider team and stakeholders.
- Building relationships with other AHSNs and contributing to the success of the national AHSN Network.
You could come from a wide range of different backgrounds, and we would look to match your skills with the opportunities we have.
If your background is not healthcare, we still encourage you to apply, as induction will be tailored to suit your skills and experience, ensuring that you are fully capable before engaging in delivery.
To succeed, you will need experience managing the delivery of projects, including multiple projects simultaneously for sustained impact. You should have some knowledge of change methodologies and project management frameworks. We are looking for people who are passionate, determined and goal focused with a commitment to delivering excellence.
In return, we offer a highly stimulating, challenging and rewarding environment with variety and professional development. If you are passionate about improving health services, there can be few opportunities that offer a platform for you to have such a tangible impact at a population level.
Location: Your official base will be our offices in Exeter and there will be some travel to partner sites within the South West. We would like you to spend one team day a week in our Exeter office but we can offer flexible and remote working outside that.
We are happy to consider candidates on secondment from their current employers.
The Lead Nurse for Neonatal Palliative Care Project aims to improve neonatal palliative care to ensure that babies and their families receive the best possible care at the most challenging time of their lives.
An emerging specialism, neonatal palliative care emphasises the comfort of the baby and quality of life for the family, however long their time together may be. It improves the experience and outcomes for families during a time of crisis, specifically when their baby is not expected to survive, or when a baby has multiple complex health needs with an uncertain future.
The project is jointly funded by The True Colours Trust, CW+ and Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust. The project is led by Alex Mancini, the country’s first National Lead Nurse in Neonatal Palliative Care.
The project provides neonatal staff working in hospitals and hospices with the training and knowledge to identify babies who need palliative care, and to provide the best possible palliative care to those babies and their families.
Phase 1 of the project began in London in 2015 and following a successful pilot, Phase 2 began in 2021. Phase 2 has branched out of London and is now running in three regional neonatal Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs). The project is continuously evaluated to learn lessons about what works and to assess impact. Subject to the evaluation and success of Phase 2 and to securing further funding, the ambition is to launch Phase 3 in January 2024.
We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to work alongside the Lead Nurse to ensure the smooth implementation of Phase 2, and to assist with plans for a potential Phase 3 which will see the project roll out across the UK.
