Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

Within the Finance and Corporate Resources Directorate, the Change Delivery Team are driving delivery of a strategic programme of work to transform Versus Arthritis into a more sustainable charity. As experts in project, programme, and change management, we are deployed to identify, deliver, and embed the organisation’s most complex changes. We also support colleagues to deliver the smaller scale changes and improvement activities in their plans by providing project management guidance, learning and development opportunities, and a suite of tools and templates. We are looking for an ambitious and proactive Senior Project Manager to join our tenacious team.    

About the role

This role is a unique senior role perfect for an experienced project manager skilled in the day-to-day management of projects, with knowledge of diverse project management methodologies, and the enthusiasm and skills to upskill, coach and engage people of all levels in project management to help embed this way of working across the organisation.  

This role sits within a dedicated team of project and programme experts, overseen by the Head of Change Delivery, and working in collaboration with senior leaders across the organisation to deliver the charities’ most high-risk, high-value, and complex change projects within our Sustainability Programme. The purpose of this role is to;  

• Advocate for and maintain our established organisational project management approach, including project management standards, documentation templates, and resources. 
• Evolve, and deliver, a learning and development offer to build project management capability and confidence across the charity.  
• Develop creative ways to engage colleagues in the Sustainability Programme to take them on the change journey.  
• Refine and deliver a support offer to assist teams in delivering their own small-scale projects and improvement activities- likely through mentoring, coaching, and workshop facilitation.  
• Undertake deployments to manage delivery of complex change projects within the Sustainability Programme, ensuring they are delivered on time, to budget, and to the required standard.  
• Line manage a small team of Project Officers.

• Advanced Microsoft Office skills (SharePoint, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel in particular) and some familiarity with Monday .com would be beneficial.  

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
