At UK Biobank, we help researchers answer some of the biggest questions about human health. Behind the scenes, that means bringing together people, data, and systems in ways that are thoughtful, well-governed, and built for long-term impact.

We’re now looking for a Programme Manager to take responsibility for the delivery of UK Biobank’s Data Linkage Programme, a strategically important area of work for the organisation. This is a role for someone who enjoys building clarity where things are evolving, connecting people across disciplines, and turning complex ambitions into progress that sticks.

As a pioneering and inclusive organisation, we value collaboration, curiosity, and practical delivery and we’re excited to offer a role where you can genuinely shape how something new takes form.

Can you do it?

You’ll lead the end-to-end development and delivery of a major programme, working closely with the Executive team and senior stakeholders across UK Biobank, partner organisations, and data providers.

The programme sits within UK Biobank’s Data Linkage Programme, a key strategic priority as we expand how we link to external health records and datasets. You’ll report to the Director of Projects and Change and be accountable to the Director of Data Linkage, ensuring the programme approach aligns with organisational frameworks while accommodating the specific technical, governance, legal, and partnership considerations that come with data linkage.

This role suits someone who can bring momentum to environments with multiple perspectives, competing priorities, and evolving requirements — helping interdependent initiatives move forward and deliver lasting value.

You will be responsible for:

• Translating strategy into deliverable programmes by aligning multi-disciplinary teams, managing interdependencies and navigating complex constraints.
• Defining and maintaining a clear programme vision, roadmap, outcomes and success measures aligned to organisational strategy and portfolio priorities.
• Assessing and shaping resourcing and capability across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver current and future data linkage ambitions.
• Identifying and managing programme risks and constraints, particularly around data quality, governance, ethics and timeliness, working with partners to mitigate impact.
• Providing pragmatic, hands-on leadership when needed, contributing to critical work while maintaining programme direction and long-term sustainability.

Is this 'you'?

You’re comfortable working in complex, governance-heavy environments and enjoy bringing structure and progress to work that spans teams and organisations. You balance strategic thinking with practical delivery and communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders.

To be successful, you will have:

• Strong programme management capability including planning, dependency management, governance, assurance and benefits realisation with a proven track record of leading the development and delivery of complex, large scale programmes.  
• Demonstrable experience working in highly regulated or governance-heavy environments, such as health research, public sector or data driven organisations. 
• Proven ability to manage risk, uncertainty and change, including issues relating to data quality and external dependencies.
• Experience leading large, multi-disciplinary project teams within a matrix management structure, with strong stakeholder management skills and an ability to operate across organisational boundaries.  

Working hours are 35-hours per week, Monday to Friday with some flexibility, 3-days onsite with hybrid working available. Located in Oxford.  

Our passion for diversity and equality means creating a work environment for all employees that is welcoming, respectful, engaging, and enriched with opportunities for personal and professional development.

About the role:

ELMS is a specialist mental health service in Leyton supporting adults living with long-term mental health conditions to remain well, connected to their communities and out of hospital. Made up of an office base, four supported houses, a small floating support offer and a structured day programme, ELMS provides longer-term accommodation rooted in stability, trust and continuity.

As Night Concierge, you’ll be the steady presence that holds the service overnight. From 10pm to 8am, you’ll be the first point of contact for residents, the guardian of the buildings, and the calm voice on the end of the phone when reassurance is needed. You’ll take responsibility for the ELMS duty phone, offering grounding, clarity and emotional containment to residents who may need support during the night.

This is a role with quiet impact. By maintaining safety, responding proportionately to concerns and providing a consistent, compassionate presence, you’ll create the conditions that allow residents to rest, recover and continue building their lives. It’s work that requires patience, professionalism and sound judgement — and makes a real difference, even when things are quiet.

About you:

• You bring experience of supporting adults with long-term mental health needs, or working in related support or care environments.
• You’re calm, grounded and reassuring, even in uncertain or emotionally charged situations — especially when supporting people by phone.
• You’re confident working independently overnight, with good judgement about when to act and when to escalate.
• You understand the importance of clear boundaries, safety and proportionate responses, while still being warm and person-centred.
• You’re organised and reliable, with strong written skills and the ability to record and hand over information clearly and accurately.

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey.

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

You will provide day-to-day leadership of the finance function, bringing your accounting expertise to the team, and work collaboratively with me in my role as Director of Finance and Services, and from March with the incoming Chief Operating Officer, to ensure our strategy is translated into effective financial systems, budgeting, financial management and reporting.

Why Access Social Care Exists 

Every day millions of older and disabled people are denied the social care they need. Most local authorities can’t meet the growing demand for care, and none are confident they can meet their legal duties in the future. This affects all of us - we will all need care at some point in our lives. 

We all have a right to hold public bodies to account, but most of us cannot afford lawyers so rely on legal aid. The 92% drop in legal aid cases since 2010 means that we have nowhere to turn. Without access to justice, our rights do not exist.

What we do 

Access Social Care (‘ASC’) provides legal advice and information for people with social care needs, helping achieve a better quality of life. We work with communities to increase knowledge of the law and our rights. We highlight the gap left by cuts to Legal Aid and provide advice for those who can’t afford it. 

Our network of lawyers and caseworkers provide access to justice when things go wrong. We collaborate with social services whilst ensuring legal obligations are met. We are working towards a future where social care is adequately funded, and we all get the support we need. 

We provide rights awareness training to front line managers, and legal advice and casework support to families and individuals. As well as providing access to justice, our aim is to drive system level change through evidence-led influencing and strategic casework.

This is an exciting time to join ASC. We have a new strategy. We are dedicated to the people who need our help, and we care deeply about our team. We think that work should be an exciting and satisfying place to be.
