Project Manager – Launch a Groundbreaking Technology Empowerment Service

Salary: £40,000

Hours: Full-time (36 hours per week)

Location: Fully remote, with some UK travel

Reports to: CEO

Ready to build something extraordinary?

Do you have experience leading national programmes and previous line management experience?

Are you excited by the idea of creating a national service from scratch, working with purpose, and being trusted to shape something truly innovative, then this could be the role for you!

Charity People are excited to partner with British Wireless for the Blind Fund (BWBF) to recruit an exceptional Project Manager to lead the launch of their brand‑new, state‑of‑the‑art Technology Empowerment Service for people with sight loss.

This is a wonderful opportunity to build something truly transformative.

BWBF is undergoing a bold transformation. Long known for providing audio equipment, the charity is evolving into the UK’s leading technology empowerment service for people with sight loss. This newly created role sits at the very heart of that change.

As Project Manager, you will design, build and launch a nationwide programme from the ground up, shaping how thousands of people with sight loss access technology, build confidence, and live more independently.

From service design and volunteer networks to partnerships and impact measurement, you will be the driving force turning an ambitious vision into a sustainable, life‑changing service.

You’ll work closely with the CEO, influence strategic direction, and leave a legacy that genuinely reshapes the sector.

The impact you’ll make

• Design and launch a cutting‑edge technology support service used across the UK
• Build inclusive systems that remove barriers to digital access
• Create pathways that enable people with sight loss to engage with technology on their own terms
• Establish partnerships and volunteer networks that extend reach and impact
• Set quality, evaluation and delivery frameworks that will define best practice

This is a role for someone who thrives on purpose, ownership and innovation and who wants their work to really matter.

A culture built on trust, flexibility and wellbeing

BWBF understands that life doesn’t stop at the door of work. The charity is deeply committed to staff wellbeing and recognises that external factors – family, health, caring responsibilities, or life events – sometimes need to take priority.

You’ll be supported in a truly flexible, family‑friendly working environment, built on:

• Trust, not micromanagement
• Respect for individual circumstances
• Autonomy over when and how you work
• A leadership team that genuinely listens

This is a remote‑first organisation where people are trusted to do their best work in a way that works for them and where kindness and accountability go hand in hand.

What else is on offer

• Fully remote, genuinely flexible working
• 36‑hour full‑time week
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Additional time off over Christmas
• Auto‑enrolment pension
• Quarterly in‑person team days and occasional events
• A supportive, mission‑driven team that values collaboration and care

Inclusion at the heart of everything

BWBF is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and strongly encourages applications from people with sight loss. The charity recognises the value of lived experience and will make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and in the role itself to ensure everyone can thrive.

Application deadline: Friday 16th January 2026
