We’re now looking for a Project Lead to join our Progress Lifeline team on a permanent basis. If you’re organised, proactive, and enjoy managing projects that make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

As a Project Lead, you’ll play a key role in delivering a range of projects across Progress Lifeline - from service improvements and new service implementations to wider operational initiatives.

You’ll be responsible for planning and coordinating projects from start to finish, ensuring actions are clearly defined, tracked, and delivered on time. Working closely with operational teams, digital services, and senior leaders, you’ll help ensure projects are well managed, risks are identified, and outcomes are achieved.

The role involves maintaining project documentation, monitoring progress, and supporting colleagues to deliver key actions. You’ll also contribute to reporting and continuous improvement, helping to shape how services develop over time.

This is an agile role, with at least one day per week in the office alongside meetings and collaboration with key stakeholders.
