Overview

Senior Project Manager - Change and Transformation

At Change Grow Live, we're driven by a simple belief - people can change.

Our new five-year strategy sets out an ambitious vision for the future: to make it easier for more people to access support earlier, to embed compassion and evidence at the heart of everything we do, and to create services that are rooted in the communities we serve.

To achieve this, we're investing in innovation, digital transformation and new service models - and we're looking for a Senior Project Manager to help make it happen.

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to lead complex, cross-organisational change that touches every part of our charity.

You'll plan, deliver and embed large-scale transformation projects that align directly to our strategy - from redesigning our core offer for adults accessing support for drug and alcohol use, to rolling out digital innovations that free up time for our frontline teams to care.

You'll balance structure with agility, working collaboratively across directorates to deliver measurable benefits, strengthen capability, and embed a culture of continuous improvement.

What you'll do

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of multiple, high-impact projects that drive strategic and cultural transformation.

• Apply best-practice methodologies (Agile, MSP, hybrid) to ensure transparency, accountability, and real-world outcomes.

• Integrate people-centred change management principles to build engagement, readiness, and adoption.

• Collaborate with senior leaders, service managers, and partners to deliver innovation rooted in evidence and compassion.

• Coach and develop other project managers, helping to build capacity and capability across the function.
