Project Manager
Axial Spondyloarthritis International Federation (ASIF) is seeking a Project Manager to manage and strengthen ASIF’s growing portfolio of international projects.  This is a hands-on role, it is not an IT based Project Manager role.

Working with a steering group (Trustees, members and/or other stakeholders) to manage the design, delivery and review of small portfolio of projects.  This may include gathering experts to develop the scope of a project, gathering information from ASIF’s members, commissioning and managing technical providers, organizing and annotating stakeholder meetings, planning marketing and communications and project launch events, dissemination of information and writing reports for sponsors.  The post may involve some overseas travel.

About us
ASIF is an international membership organization representing patient associations around the globe specializing in the support of patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA).  Currently we have 47 member associations in 41 countries.  ASIF’s role is to increase awareness of axSpA and knowledge of the disease around the world.

About this role
Founded in 1988, ASIF has been run by its Trustees for many years. Now it is growing.  ASIF  registered as a UK Charity in 2017 and contracted its first member of staff three years ago.  ASIF is now developing, in partnership with corporate partners and members, some exciting projects which will promote awareness and improve the quality of life for patients with axSpA worldwide.

We are seeking a Project Manager to work on a short-term renewable contract, starting with 22.5 hours per week, with the possibility to increase in the future if enough income is generated.

Trustees and members are very involved in managing ASIF’s projects.  The post-holder will need to forge good relationships with many stakeholders worldwide.  Meetings are held virtually and are often outside normal office hours.

ASIF is constantly developing and looking at opportunities to create effective global campaigns and because of that, the role and the portfolio of projects could change.  The post-holder must be responsive to change and flexible in their approach.

The projects
IMAS or the International Map of Axial Spondyloarthritis, is a project that is up and running and is now moving into a second phase.  It is a survey of patients that was created to explore how axSpA affects patients’ relationships, work, daily activities and mental health.  The survey highlighted long delays to diagnosis and suboptimal management of axSpA.  The survey was expanded to 12 European countries and the results of that phase were published in 2019.  Now the survey is going global and the results of that phase are expected to be ready in the next year or so.  ASIF is taking a more pivotal role in the management of IMAS going forward and it will be the Project Manager’s role to represent ASIF’s interests on the management team and to drive this very exciting project forward. 

Delay to Diagnosis (D2D).  We have long been aware that there is a delay to diagnosis, the IMAS survey highlighted that it is an average of 7 years internationally.  It is this delay to diagnosis that is the focus of ASIF’s new project. ASIF is developing a project that will aim to make a global case for change.  We need to outline the benefits of reducing the delay to diagnosis, focusing on the benefits to patients and to governments, healthcare providers and policy makers.  The project sub-committee plans to expand on the international data available by finding out more about the similarities and differences between countries.  We will then develop a document and materials that can be disseminated worldwide.  You will need to be comfortable working with some ambiguity whilst this project is developed towards its aim by the steering sub-committee.

Application process
Please submit your CV with a 2-page covering letter explaining how you meet the requirements of the job description.  Applications to be received by email by the end of Friday 21 August 2020.  Interviews will be held by online meeting on 1 or 2 September 2020.

Details of the role
Reports to:  Executive to the Board

Term:  1 year initially 3 days per week, with potential to expand (dependent on funding).  Two-month probation period. 

Days per week:   3 days per week (22.5 hours).  There is no need to work fixed working days, hours will need to be sufficiently spread over the week to enable appropriate response times.  There will need to be an amount of flexibility because the post-holder may need to attend online meetings at hours and on days that suit the Trustees and other stakeholders.  Hours can be spread over the week and averaged over time as work demands (some weeks may be busier than others).

Location:  Home based.  Occasional meetings in London/Europe and possible travel worldwide if the project requires it – not normally for more than one week at a time.

Fees:   £22 per hour. This is a self-employed position. The applicant will be responsible for providing their own workspace and office equipment and managing their own tax affairs.  Other expenses eg travel and subsistence when travelling on charity business will be claimable on discussion with the Executive to the Board.

Start date:  As soon as possible.  Ideally mid-September 2020.

Who we are
 

Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose.  ‘We call these our 3Ps’.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change ‘the system’, to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

The Development Team as a whole is the engine room of Catch22’s mission and business plan. It consists of the Partnerships, Business Development and Communications and Marketing units and collectively seeks to grow our reach, influence, impact and secure funds that allow us to change peoples’ lives for the better. If you are intrinsically motivated by impact, have the skills, but more than anything, you are creative, entrepreneurial and passionate, we want to talk to you. 

We seek out partners who have the vision to think big and go on a journey with us, challenging current forms of delivery, and piloting new ideas that can be scaled. 
 

Where you fit in
 

As a Senior Development Manager (Partnerships), you will be central to Catch22’s work with partners and supporters, maximising our ability to generate positive social impact with your relationship-building and fundraising skills. This role is central to Catch22 Development Team’s ambitious plans for finding like-minded partners who want to change the world.

You will be joining an entrepreneurial, energetic and passionate unit with a fun but hardworking culture, all relentlessly committed to Catch22’s core mission and purpose: to build resilience and aspiration in people and communities that need it the most. This is a relatively new unit and with significant recent success we want more brilliant people to join us to help move things forward.

You will have autonomy over sourcing and securing partnerships that contribute to Catch22’s overall development objectives, including fundraising goals. Most of the time you will be expected to operate under your own initiative and curiosity, researching and identifying partners, and winning them over with solid cases for support and your enthusiasm and belief in the work that we do.

Relationships will be at the centre of what you do, and getting alongside, impressing, and persuading people will be key to your and our collective success. A Development Coordinator will report to you and support with market research, proposal writing and development and general project management skills.
