Are you a creative and compassionate project leader with a passion for innovation? Join Being There and help transform how we support volunteers and deliver vital services to people living with cancer and life-limiting illness.

We’re seeking an Innovation Project Manager to lead the development of a new digital volunteer platform. This exciting role will involve managing the project from concept to delivery, ensuring it is accessible, user-friendly, and responsive to the needs of volunteers and service users.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is confident using digital tools and platforms
• Shares our values and brings empathy, flexibility and a collaborative approach

Experience in the charity sector, working with volunteers, or UX design is desirable.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a meaningful innovation project that will directly improve support for people facing some of life’s toughest challenges. You’ll be part of a supportive, inclusive organisation committed to making a real difference.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage those from underrepresented communities and those with lived experience of life-limiting illness.
