Interviews for this role will take place on 16, 17 and 21 September 2026.

Are you interested in delivering transformational change in a vibrant Housing Association?

Scotland’s population is ageing, and with that comes both challenges and opportunity. The question is not simply how people can live longer – but how they can live well, safely, and independently in the homes and communities they choose.

Bield Housing and Care is one of Scotland’s leading providers of housing and support for older people. We are a Registered Social Landlord and Scottish Charity, providing and supporting over 4600 homes across 21 local authority areas.

Bield’s 10-year vision is ambitious – to lead, set, and deliver the global standard for ageing at home.

The Role

The role of the Project Change Manager is to support and collaborate with Business Leads and delivery teams to ensure that the programme of projects delivering Bield’s Business Plan are delivered in line with business needs and to time and quality. You will support Business Leads to be effective in tracking and reporting project delivery and progress, and to surface and manage dependencies risks and issues.

You will also support Bield’s Executive Management Team (EMT) and Leadership Team to drive sustainable and meaningful change alongside growing our internal project management and change capacity.

Leading the Projects and Business Planning Team also means line managing Bield’s Project Coordinator and supporting them to deliver their role effectively.

Please see attached for the full job description and person specification. Training will be provided where necessary and we offer development opportunities for employees.
