This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding. We have much to be proud of in our one hundred years of history, but we know that to remain vibrant and relevant to young people we must continually evolve.

We have begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people at the heart of our organisation. We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week.

Are you an experienced project manager? Do you enjoy managing large complex projects? Can you author meaningful project documentation, track interdependencies and deliver communications that inspire and inform, in a really human and straight forward way? Can you lead project teams? Are you excited to use your talents to help Girlguiding meet its objectives and help girls have amazing experiences?

Girlguiding is recruiting for a project manager to drive forward a large scale creative project across the organisation. This important role will lead on the planning, delivery and overall management of this key project, working collaboratively with colleagues across our organisation.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Girlguiding as we embark on year three of our new strategy and portfolio of change initiatives. We’re looking for someone with experience of managing complex, multi work-package projects in a structured (ideally, creative) environment. Formal qualification is desirable, but experience is what counts. We’re particularly keen to hear from people with strong interpersonal, leadership and budget management skills who are used to driving the shaping of projects amongst many stakeholders. Practical experience of working in a creative production environment or agency is a bonus but not essential.

The role is based in the transformation portfolio management office (PMO) and will work across the portfolio, mainly on creative projects; reporting to the portfolio office manager while being an active team member in the brand, marketing and communications department. This exciting role is focussed on managing a large-scale transformation project while contributing to smaller portfolio initiatives.

Girlguiding values the differences that a diverse workforce brings and is committed to inclusivity, and to employing and supporting a diverse workforce. Girlguiding is proud to be part of the Stonewall Diversity Champions programme, a member of the Business Disability Forum, and a member of Time to Change – improving attitudes towards mental health. While Girlguiding’s young members may be girl only, our staff team is mixed gender. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability (physical or mental), gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

We are committed to supporting our staff to achieve a good work-life balance and offer flexible working options wherever we reasonably can. Girlguiding is a COVID secure employer, offering hybrid working and providing support for all employees during the current pandemic. All staff are required to carry out our online health and safety training and complete a DSE risk assessment to ensure we can provide the support you require.

The basics:

• Working hours: 0.9-1 Full time equivalent (31.5 - 35 hours per week)

• Contract: 12 month fixed term. Possibility for extension beyond 12 months if further funding is secured. We can’t currently accept applications for this role as a job share.

• Location: This is a London based role, which will require very regular presence in Camden, North London. When not onsite at the Camden Fixing Factory the role can either be worked from home, or from our Camden office. You must have the right to work in the UK. Unfortunately we’re not able to support work visa applications

• Ideal starting date: March-April 2022

• Application process: application form and then two interview rounds (more on this below). 

• Closing date:  10am, Monday 14th February

Equal opportunities 

Possible is an organisation and workplace that supports, affirms and welcomes staff from all backgrounds - recognising its responsibility to proactively address the different experiences and needs of team members that are rooted in social injustice and structural or institutional failings. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all applicants regardless of their background. We value diversity whilst also acknowledging that people from certain backgrounds are underrepresented in our organisation. We are keen to correct this, so particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; people who identify as disabled; people who identify as LGBTQIA+ communities; people who have experienced mental health challenges and people who identify as working class (or have done in the past).

About the role 

Are you fed up with household appliances being cheaper to replace than to fix? Passionate about building local solutions in response to the global climate crisis? Skilled in, and committed to, working with communities to meet needs and solve problems? We should talk.

Possible - a Camden based climate action charity - is partnering with the Restart Project - the community repair skills and ‘right to repair’ campaign specialists - to trial two brand new community ‘Fixing Factories’, with funding made possible thanks to National Lottery players. Each factory will be a new community repair hub, open to all and providing free or low cost electronic appliance repairs as well as passing on fixing skills directly to community members. 

Working with volunteers and repair businesses on a Camden high street and inside a Brent waste facility, we’ll turn the traditional factory on its head and forge new spaces for fixing, learning, curiosity and empowerment. Opportunities for 16-30 year olds, including skills development, training, and paid work will be central. Our fresh approach, novel locations and community powered design can create new forms of climate action able to meet local needs and involve new communities.

Possible will lead on establishing a six month, real world, trial of a high street Fixing Factory in the borough of Camden - repurposing a disused shop front for community benefit. We’re looking for a self-starting, highly organised, practical and community centred project manager to take this idea off the page, and put it on the high street.

We have National Lottery funding, the idea and keystone local relationships. The core challenge of this role will be to take those ingredients and - through community activation, relationship building and team leadership - turn them into something real.

As well as community stakeholders and the local council, you’ll work closely with the Restart Project - who will lead on establishing the Brent Fixing Factory embedded in a recycling centre - and Possible colleagues across our communication and campaigns teams. Our ultimate aim is to demonstrate the impact and viability of our trial Fixing Factories, secure further funding to extend them - and provide resources for their replication elsewhere.

As a member of the wider Possible team, you’ll be part of our supportive, positive and collaborative culture - and be invited to help shape the organisation you’re part of - from strategy away days to anti-oppression work. And everyone chips in to make the tea, take out the bins and do the washing up (or the virtual office equivalents), so there’s that too.

Key responsibilities

• Camden Fixing Factory

  • Lead the Camden high street Fixing Factory project, as part of the wider Fixing Factories pilot partnership.

  • Develop and maintain key local relationships with multiple stakeholders, including community organisations, youth groups, project partners, local government and repair businesses.

  • Establish and coordinate a local steering group for the pilot, bringing in key local stakeholders

  • Work with Camden Council to identify a suitable high street space for the Fixing Factory trial (the council are already supportive of the project).

  • Coordinate delivery of the site, and manage the day to day operations, managing volunteers and working closely with Restart Project staff.

  • Work with colleagues to produce digital communications content to promote the Fixing Factory to the public, and share activities with a wider audience.

  • Ensure effective measurement of impact of the Camden Fixing Factory operations.

• Fixing Factories partnership

  • Develop and maintain a strong working relationship with the Restart Project London Network Lead.

  • Facilitate branding, promotion, content creation and press work by the Possible communications team on behalf of the wider Fixing Factories pilot.

  • Contribute to overall evaluation of the pilot, including both Camden and Brent Fixing Factories, and the development of business models for future growth.

  • Act as a public spokesperson and advocate for both the Camden Fixing Factory, and the wider Fixing Factories pilot.

  • Contribute to opportunity spotting for increasing project impact and reach, including further funding opportunities.

  • Work with the press and PR officer to identify and respond to media and profile raising opportunities.

• Organisational involvement

  • Participate in culture, strategy, campaign and project development and reviews. 

  • Be a team player - contributing to our supportive and positive working culture.

About you:

To make our shortlist, you’ll need to:

• Demonstrate experience of successful real world project management.

• Experience of running high quality community engagement processes, and a commitment to meaningful community participation.

• Be a creative self-starter, able to think and learn independently and lead from the front to bring people with you.

• Experience of managing volunteers, and of working with young people.

• Excellent interpersonal skills, underpinning the ability to engage with a wide variety of stakeholders, from local councillors to young people, from potential funders to colleagues.

• Ability to troubleshoot, navigate practical hurdles and manage project risk successfully and proportionately.

• High standard of written and spoken communication skills, and confidence to advocate for your work publicly.

Do you have proven senior level experience of project managing cross-organisational campaigns or projects in an income generating environment, plus an understanding of all of the challenges that come with it? Then join Shelter as a Senior Project Manager and you could soon be responsible for managing a programme of work that aims to improve our fundraising activity in the future.

About Shelter
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.

We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the team
You will be part of the Planning & Project Management Team that’s responsible for improving our Income Generation directorate’s approach to integrated and cross-organisational working. We do this by leading and project managing major income generation projects of strategic importance, such as our winter fundraising campaign. We also identify and equip the directorate with the tools they need to make cross-organisational working the default approach to everything we do. This is an incredibly exciting time for us, not least as we’re starting the next phase of our strategic plan and have ambitious growth targets for Income Generation over the next few years. You’ll help set us on the right trajectory to achieve them.

About the Role
Your challenge will be to ensure the programme is fully integrated charity wide, harness the talents of the people we have in each team, identify new opportunities and work with colleagues to make things happen. First though, you’ll need to set up a cross-organisational project group to deliver the programme of work and set the terms of reference for the group. The programme will have three distinct workstreams, all of which will be interdependent with each other and also with other works teams across Shelter. You’ll be responsible for the sequencing of these workstreams to ensure outputs, learnings and deliverables are fed in at the right time. Managing stakeholder relationships with colleagues from across Shelter to ensure all teams are kept up-to-date with the project and its outputs will be important too, as will ensuring our anti-racism plan is embedded in everything we do. You’ll also play a key role in the cultural shift within Income Generation towards enabling us to feel like we’re doing the best work of our lives.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you
To succeed, you’ll need experience of coordinating multiple workstreams to deliver something that’s greater than the sum of its parts. You’ll also need a can-do attitude and the ability to hit the ground running in a fast-paced environment. Comfortable working within a matrix team and used to identifying, managing and mitigating risk to ensure successful project delivery, experience using project management tools such as Gantt charts, Airtable, RAPID and risk registers is also essential. What’s more, you’re highly collaborative, flexible, diplomatic and assertive, with good influencing, negotiation and stakeholder management skills. Crucially, you’re adept at switching between the fine detail and bigger picture and just know how to develop strong working relationships and get things done.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave (pro rata), enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

I am excited to be working with an amazing neurological organisation in search of a Project manager to focus on two new projects.

Main duties:
Project one.
Re-design and relaunch of an integral project:
The summer events are for families and children who live with a neurological Syndrome. They take place at adventure-holiday type venues across the country, to allow children and families to meet others and socialise and have fun.
The charity plan to do these events on a bigger scale, and have identified a need to improve processes, risk-management, emergency procedures etc. that ensure the events are fully safe for all and that unforeseen events can be dealt with.
The project involves thinking through the planning and implementation of these events from beginning to end; i.e. evaluation and contracting of venues, recruiting guests, event planning, staffing levels, back-up processes, safeguarding etc through to eventual feedback from participants.
The deliverable would be a detailed policy document and tools/templates covering everything necessary for the safe and successful planning and running of these events.

Project two.
The Awards:
The organisation is launching an annual Youth Creativity Awards scheme to inspire and showcase the artistic creativity - visual, musical, performance - of young people living with the syndrome.

The Awards scheme will take place entirely online. Entries will be invited through an Open Call for Entries to be advertised on the charity's website and social media. A short list for each category in both age groups will be made by the Award judges. A programme of creative activities for young people with the syndrome will run alongside the Awards.
The project involves refining the outline design of the scheme and managing the running of the Awards from initial call for entries, through submissions, judging, public voting, and showcasing of winning works in a creative 'Hall of Fame' on the charity website.
Among the responsibilities will be to specify the practicalities:
Digital format for works to be entered and the process for judging, shortlisting and final voting
Recruitment of judges, coordination of the open call for entries
Coordination of shortlisting of entries
Design and implementation of the online public vote for the final winners.
