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.

Summary

We’ve come a long way over the last few years with establishing an organisational approach to managing projects and beginning to embed this way of working.  We are now in the process of developing a new strategy for the charity along with accompanying plans that will deliver the impact we want to make.  Much of our priority activity will need to be delivered as projects within our portfolio of change.  To support this, we will need to further evolve our project management skills and expertise.

This senior role within our Portfolio Office will play a key part in this. Part of the Impact and Improvement department, this role is responsible for the continued evolution, embedding and championing of our organisational approach to project management, as well as recruiting, managing, and nurturing our project management resource, and helping ensure all projects are delivered on time, to budget and to the required standard.
 

About the role

This role will attract, recruit, and manage our project management resource (including permanent and fixed term staff brought in to deliver specific projects) in response to requests for project management resource for priority projects across the charity.

They will continue to evolve our organisational approach to project management - leading on future iterations of our project tools, templates, and guidance, and further embed this approach through the development and delivery of a project management learning and development offer.

A proportion of the role, roughly 50%, will include managing projects supporting the effective delivery of our portfolio of priority projects.

As the profession of project management continues to evolve in light of ever-changing external contexts, the role will be responsible for responding to emerging trends ensuring the charity fosters good practice.
