Refuge is embarking on significant transformation to expand and enhance safe accommodation across its services. At the heart of this journey is an opportunity for a skilled Project Manager to help turn vision into reality—shaping spaces that are not just buildings, but foundations for safety and rebuilding lives.

In this role, you won’t simply manage projects—you will lead end-to-end, guiding properties from acquisition through to refurbishment and handover and ensuring the programme delivers the benefits intended. Working within a dynamic team, you will navigate complexity with confidence, bringing together contractors, stakeholders, and internal teams to deliver at pace, on budget, and with purpose. It’s a role that calls for both structure and adaptability—where disciplined project management meets agile ways of working in a fast-moving and evolving environment.

We are looking for someone who is not only experienced in property projects, but who is energised by the impact their work can have. Someone who thrives on collaboration, can manage competing priorities, and understands the intricacies of delivering high-quality, compliant and trauma-informed spaces. Above all, we are seeking a Project Manager who wants their work to matter—who sees beyond bricks and mortar to the lives being rebuilt within them, and who is ready to play a meaningful part in Refuge’s transformational journey.
