We’re looking for a Project Development Lead to join our Day Opportunities team in Flintshire and play a key role in transforming what day opportunities can look like for the people we support.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about employment, independence, inclusion and creating real opportunities for people to achieve their ambitions.

About the role

As Project Development Lead, you’ll be a catalyst for change.

Working alongside people we support, colleagues across Hft, commissioners, education providers, employers and community organisations, you’ll help us reimagine and develop day opportunities across Flintshire and North Wales.

A key focus of the role will be supporting the development of a new autism service and creating a programme that enables people to build skills, confidence and experience based around their individual interests, strengths and aspirations.

This isn't simply about getting people into jobs. It’s about helping people discover what they want to achieve, developing the skills and confidence to get there, gaining meaningful experience and creating sustainable pathways into employment, volunteering, education and other opportunities within their communities.

You’ll have the opportunity to challenge traditional approaches, identify new possibilities and develop projects that help people live gloriously ordinary lives – with greater choice, independence and connection to their communities.

What you'll be doing:

• Design and deliver training and development programmes that help people build the skills and confidence they need for employment and greater independence.

• Review existing day opportunity provision across Flintshire and identify opportunities to develop and improve our offer.

• Develop project plans, implementation plans and risk assessments to turn ideas into successful projects.

• Work closely with people we support to understand their interests, strengths, career goals and aspirations.

• Develop personalised pathways towards employment, education, volunteering and other meaningful opportunities.

• Work alongside Hft’s Supported Employment team to help people progress towards meaningful, paid employment where this is their goal.

• Build strong partnerships with education providers, employers, commissioners, local authorities and third-sector organisations.

• Challenge low expectations and advocate for reasonable adjustments, inclusion and equality of opportunity.

• Ensure projects are delivered safely, respectfully and in a genuinely person-centred way.

• Support colleagues to develop the skills and knowledge needed to deliver new approaches.

• Develop tools to measure the impact of the programme, including personal outcomes, skills development, qualifications, vocational achievements and employment or move-on opportunities.

• Maintain accurate records and ensure projects meet Hft and commissioning requirements.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is ambitious, creative and passionate about what people can achieve when they are given the right opportunities and support.

You’ll bring experience of successfully delivering projects and be confident managing multiple priorities, developing partnerships and turning ideas into action.

You'll ideally have experience working with learning disabled and/or autistic adults, particularly within education, supported employment, employability, health or social care.

You’ll also have:

• A project management qualification and demonstrable experience of successfully delivering projects.

• A strong understanding of person-centred and strength-based approaches.

• A genuine belief in every person's right to work, develop skills and build a career if that is what they want.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• Experience working collaboratively with employers, education providers, community organisations or other external partners.

• Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage your own workload and priorities.

• A solution-focused and collaborative approach, with the confidence to challenge existing thinking and explore new possibilities.

• Good IT skills, including the ability to maintain accurate records and produce reports.

• A full UK driving licence, access to a vehicle and willingness to use your own vehicle for work purposes. Mileage will be paid.

• Welsh language skills would be desirable.

Why join us?

This is a chance to take on a role where your work can have a genuine and lasting impact.

You’ll be joining a team that wants to do things differently – moving beyond traditional models of day opportunities and creating more opportunities for people to develop skills, build confidence, connect with their communities and pursue the future they want.

At Hft, our values guide everything we do:

Diverse – We appreciate that everyone is unique and champion equity, diversity and inclusion.

Kind – Our compassion shines through everything we do.

Positive – We focus on finding solutions, partnering for progress and getting others involved.

Visionary – We are proud to paint a picture of what the best life possible could look like.

If you’re passionate about creating opportunities, challenging expectations and helping people turn their aspirations into reality, we’d love to hear from you.

Project Coordinator – Mobile Dignity Hub, South-West England 

Job description 

This is a role based in the South-West of England, working across the region to deliver a new mobile refugee clinic. The Project Coordinator is responsible for setting up and running the pilot project: coordinating a rented van, a small cohort of trained volunteers, and a rolling programme of visits to areas where people seeking asylum have been dispersed. The primary services will be dependent on the availability of other services in the local area but are non-specialist advice and referrals, and the distribution of welcome packs, clothes and hygiene items. The Project Coordinator can be based anywhere across the South-West.

The mobile model exists because widening dispersal is moving people seeking asylum further from city-centre services, often to rural areas with little existing support infrastructure. Fixed premises are a poor fit for many people's reality – low incomes, limited transport, childcare, language barriers and poor health can make a city-centre appointment practically inaccessible. This project takes support to where people are, building trust through co-hosting with local organisations and the use of refugee peer supporters. 

The Project Coordinator will work closely with the CEO and Back Office, collaborating on volunteers, budget management, partnerships and the development of the project. This role starts part-time (3 days per week) and is expected to increase to full-time (5 days per week) from January 2027. Extension beyond the pilot period will be based on performance and funding, and decided by mutual agreement between the Project Coordinator and the CEO. 

Role specification 

Setting up and running the mobile clinic: 

• Lead the practical set-up of the pilot: sourcing and maintaining a rented van, developing a network of partners across the South-west to coordinate operations and facilitate storage 

• Plan and deliver a rolling weekly/monthly rota of visits to different areas where people seeking asylum have been dispersed, working towards the target of 200 members served in the three-month pilot (800 in the first six months). 

• Oversee day-to-day delivery of non-specialist advice and referrals, and the distribution of welcome packs, clothes and hygiene items, ensuring services operate efficiently, safely and in line with organisational procedures. 

• Create and keep up to date a directory of local support services (health, legal, housing and other) so members can be referred accurately and quickly. 

• Identify and monitor the evolving needs of members and suggest new or improved ways of working to best serve the communities the project works with. 

• Identify and realise purchases needed to run and develop the project. Pay suppliers or ensure the Back Office knows when to pay. 

• Undertake any additional ad hoc tasks or responsibilities as directed by the CEO to support the effective running of the project. 

Member support: 

• Assess member needs and identify local service gaps to ensure relevant and suitable support is provided. 

• Support members to access and enrol with appropriate service providers through effective referral pathways. 

• Collect monitoring and evaluation data on what and how the project is delivering, including member feedback. 

Volunteers and safeguarding: 

• Recruit, welcome, train and manage a small team of volunteers, ensuring everyone is well supported and clear on how to help members within eligibility criteria. 

• Ensure all volunteers, visitors and any other relevant party understand and adhere to all safeguarding policies and procedures, including photos/media. 

• Manage safeguarding, including reporting concerns, incidents and disclosures immediately. 

• Ensure a safe environment for members, volunteers and visitors, maintaining appropriate health and safety standards on the road and at any partner venues. 

Partnerships and stakeholder management: 

• Develop partnerships with local organisations across the South-West (including hosting arrangements at hubs and other venues) to build trust and extend the project's reach. 

• Maintain and nurture relationships with partners through clear, timely communication and attendance at relevant meetings. 

Budget management, reporting and accountability: 

• Manage and keep to the project budget. 

• Ensure careful management of financial resources and account for all expenditure on Xero. 

• Maintain regular communication with the CEO and Back Office, responding to queries and carrying out tasks as required, including participating in regular meetings. 

• Contribute to a full evaluation of the pilot project to inform decisions about extension or expansion to other areas. 

Essential Criteria 

• At least two years' experience (paid or voluntary) working with displaced and/or marginalised people. 

• Ability to stay calm and work under pressure in a highly emotional environment.

About Us

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work.

Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts.

The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.

About You

As Head of Project Management Office (PMO), you will help our fast-growing organisation bridge the gap between strategy and execution. This is a greenfield opportunity, and you will be responsible for designing, scaling, and executing a right-sized, organisation-wide project delivery function. You will oversee an interesting investment and grant-funded portfolio, coordinate complex strategic programmes, and directly manage a core team of project managers.

Working closely with the Executive Office and Senior Leadership Team, you will ensure that strategic initiatives are prioritised, sequenced and delivered effectively so that benefits are realised and change is successfully embedded into business as usual. You will establish the PMO as a trusted centre of excellence, supporting confident decision making, disciplined delivery and transparency across RSWT and The Wildlife Trusts.

As Head of the Project Management Office, you will have a proven track record of leading portfolio, programme and delivery management functions in a complex organisation. Ideally, you will have experience of designing and scaling a PMO or delivery function from the ground up – you will be comfortable setting up lean, agile project governance structures which respect our charity’s culture while driving operational maturity. You will be confident using portfolio and delivery management tools and reporting approaches and are skilled at turning insight into action ready information for leaders.

You will be able to communicate complex information clearly, provide constructive challenge, and build trust with stakeholders across the organisation.

As a leader, you will have experience developing and leading high performing teams, fostering collaboration, strategic thinking and continuous improvement. You will be committed to building organisational capability — coaching others, championing good practice and creating communities of practice that strengthen delivery confidence over time.

If you are a pragmatic leader with a passion for disciplined delivery and helping organisations achieve meaningful change, we encourage you to apply for this role.
