More about the role

In support of our three-year strategy, Our Focus, we’re working to increase the number of pets we help through our veterinary services whilst maintaining a financially sustainable service for the charity.

To achieve this, we’ve designed a programme of service design and improvement projects, and as Project Manager, you’ll play a vital role in bringing this vision to life.

Working closely with the Programme Lead and Head of Veterinary Operations, you’ll lead the implementation of a key service design project across our hospitals, working with hospital teams to make the transition as smooth as possible whilst maintaining focus on the project benefits. You’ll also support the programme team to apply our project methodology ensuring the necessary structure and governance.

We’re looking for someone with a track record of delivering large, service design changes in operational, customer-facing environments. You’ll be an experienced Project Manager, with a collaborative approach and great stakeholder management skills to enable you to lead our teams and clients successfully through this transition. Experience in a similar healthcare setting would be beneficial, in addition to a passion for pet welfare and empathy for our clients.

At Blue Cross, we offer a rewarding career where you can make a tangible difference to the lives of pets. You'll join a passionate and dedicated expert team committed to our purpose to help pets and people thrive together.

We provide an inclusive, supportive and collaborative work environment, opportunities for professional development, and a competitive benefits package, including flexible working arrangements.

What you’ll do:

Plan and deliver your projects using our tried-and-tested project management approach (based on Prince2) to achieve successful outcomes.
Keep a close eye on project progress, budget, quality and performance to ensure we meet our goals.
Build strong relationships with colleagues and external partners linked to your projects.
Work collaboratively to create realistic plans and allocate resources effectively.
Clearly communicate project updates, challenges, and successes to stakeholders and senior leadership.
Manage changes and issues, finding creative solutions.
Identify and manage project risks.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date project records.
