Making an impact on young people is at the heart of what we do. Your role will help our technology team effectively deliver change, ensuring our frontline teams have access to systems that meet their needs and are as efficient and effective as possible.

We have an exciting transformation agenda ahead of us, which means we are recruiting a host of new FTC roles into our team to support us during this. Our existing scrum team will move on to a transformation project, looking to improve the useability, performance, data collection/quality, and maintainability of our CRM solution across the board. Whilst our new scrum team (which you will lead) will ensure the business as usual development steam continues to progress with day-to-day functional changes to support our delivery teams and the integration of new systems as we modernise our technology stack and we widen our reach through the deployment of digital delivery tools.

What you will do:

• Plan, manage and assume overall accountability for the delivery and ongoing optimisation of a number of delivery streams across the Trust’s young person CRM, including both continuous improvement and major change initiatives
• Work with senior colleagues in Technology and across the organisation to facilitate the solution design process to ensure that project requests can be effectively scoped, budgeted and signed off
• Take a hands-on role in leading the full delivery lifecycle; leading and demonstrating through actions and coaching what good practice looks like.

What we need from you:

• Excellent project delivery skills, with experience in scrum-based delivery – we have adopted and fully embedded scrum, so you will need to lead and continuously improve these ways of working
• Strong ability to bring control and order to ambiguity, enjoying the challenge of overcoming problems due to a desire to continually improve the way things are done
• Experience leading the work of business analysis, development and test teams.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Do you enjoy presenting, building relationships, and networking? Are you able to inspire others to bring lasting change? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

The Leprosy Mission is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 145 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. As a leading international Christian development charity, we work in 10 countries across Africa and Asia to defeat leprosy and transform lives.

Today, one person every two minutes is diagnosed with leprosy. It’s a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Left untreated, it causes permanent disability. Stigma means that people affected by this disease are often rejected by those closest to them. 

We are looking for an inspirational communicator to be the face of The Leprosy Mission. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across your region. As part of a fun and supportive team, you’ll be changing the lives of people who have been rejected by society. There’s nothing more rewarding than that!

We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see our work first-hand.

We’re looking for:

• an engaging public speaker to a range of audiences, including churches, community groups and businesses
• proven success in fundraising or sales
• a confident networker
• experience of managing volunteers
• excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
• the ability to develop and deliver a regional fundraising strategy
