This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with project management experience and a desire to serve churches in Southwark Diocese as part of an initiative enabling spiritual and numerical growth.

Funding has been awarded by the National Church for specific projects in places across the Diocese of Southwark where there is a clear opportunity for church growth and this role will be key in the implementation of our strategy in each of these places. The Project Manager will be working within the Strategic Development Unit, specifically working on existing funded projects including SDF3, Innovation Fund and Flourish, with a focus on monitoring progress and capturing learning.

The Project Manager working closely with the Head of Implementation of Strategic Programmes and the DIP Programme Manager, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project (from initial set up through to successful delivery) and the capturing and clear recording of learning from projects. This will involve the implementation, co-ordination and tracking of the project plans for existing projects and any new projects that may arise, as well as regular reporting on the ongoing monitoring and clear articulation of any risks.

About you

• You should have a good awareness and understanding of techniques for planning, monitoring and measuring programmes and projects, including risk management, with a proven ability to support organisational change.
• A good understanding of the structure, breadth and dynamics of the Church of England will be important, along with the desire to serve our churches and support a fruitful future.
