AT Beacon Project Manager

This is a pivotal role for AT Beacon Project. As Project Manager, you will hold overall programme management responsibility for a growing community health programme reaching some of Lambeth’s most underserved residents, coordinating delivery across five neighbourhood outreach sites, a small multidisciplinary team, and a full core offer spanning health assessment, primary care navigation, behaviour change support and targeted practical support. Given the scale and complexity of the programme, and the level of accountability it carries, this role calls for a seasoned programme manager who can bring genuine rigour to budget oversight, risk management and reporting, ideally someone with a track record in a comparable role.

The role is delivery-focused and externally facing, with significant responsibility for day-to-day operations, contract and budget performance, and partner relationships. You will liaise with commissioners and system partners, monitor contract and budget performance against agreed targets, and cultivate strong working relationships with stakeholders, Integrated Neighbourhood Team leads, community leaders, local businesses, and faith-based organisations to establish meaningful partnerships and support the effective delivery of operations.
