Change Management wraps around all work we deliver.
About the role
We are currently recruiting a Project Manager on a 2-year fixed term basis to support the University change programme, delivering successful projects and change initiatives.
The role is unique as it encompasses Project Management, Process Improvement and Change Management initiatives. Project Managers manage multiple projects at any time, working across any or multiple service or faculty areas.

You are organised and methodical in your approach to work, prioritising work appropriately with the ability to coordinate and facilitate the resolution of complex business problems.
You are motivated, enthusiastic, and a passionate team member, with the ability to be flexible, have excellent organisational skills and excel at building relationships. Professionalism, positive influencing, and excellent communication skills are all essential to this role.
What we can offer you
Our University is not just a place of academic excellence, but also a community that embraces inclusivity and support. We value our staff and offer a rewarding package that goes beyond just salary. At the University of Sunderland, we prioritise not only your professional growth but also your happiness and well-being.
* Enjoy a generous annual leave entitlement of 36 days, along with an additional 5 closure days over the Christmas break and 8 Bank Holidays.
* Enrolment into our pension scheme, ensuring your financial security for the future.
* Access to our “My Lifestyle Benefits Platform”, where you can enjoy online discounts at hundreds of retailers every day. Plus, take advantage of exclusive schemes that allow you to purchase a new car, bike, or technology at a discounted rate.
* Your health and well-being are important to us. That's why we provide access to discounted private medical insurance, health cash plans, and guidance on financial well-being.
* Maintaining an active lifestyle is made easy with discounted membership for CitySpace Fitness, our state-of-the-art facility for sports and social activities.
Equality, diversity & inclusion
We strongly believe that an inclusive university, where a diverse range of individuals feel valued and have equal opportunity to get into work and reach their potential, is good for our staff, students, university, and society.
Our work on equality, diversity and inclusivity has never been more important. We believe inclusivity is an essential value at the heart of what we do, and we want all our staff to be part of that journey with us.
