Job Introduction Turning Point is a leading health and social care social enterprise, supporting people with mental health, learning disabilities, substance use, sexual health, and employment needs. We are at the forefront of delivering innovative, impactful solutions that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Project Manager to join our dynamic Project Management Office (PMO) team on a fixed term 12 month contract.
There is a possibility that this post will be made permanent at the end of the fixed term contract.
As part of this team, you will lead projects that deliver real change across the organisation, with an initial focus on new service implementations. Your role will ensure IT components are delivered on time and to budget in collaboration with business units and central services. When capacity allows, you’ll also manage wider business change projects, introduce innovative technologies (e.g. AI and automation), and work with the IMT service transition lead to ensure implementations and BAU projects align with governance and process requirements.
If you are a proactive and organised individual who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing and challenging environment, and have a passion for managing projects that deliver meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you!
This role is scheduled to begin at the earliest opportunity offering the flexibility of largely remote working, with occasional travel to London or Manchester for key meetings.
