Project Manager

BAME Project Manager - Healthcare Student Support in Practice

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work in collaboration with UWE Bristol and practice partners across the southwest of England in addressing the complex and multiple factors needed to improve teaching and learning within placement settings for BAME students.

This is a progressive and developmental role offering a project lead opportunity to join the team to work creatively and analytically in meeting project goals and deadlines. Knowledge of Higher Education and the Healthcare sector is required and the role will be appointed from across the region/organisations. The role will require you to be self-motivated, work independently and to manage your own workload. Success in leading and implementing programmes of change would be vital alongside the ability to promote the project internally and externally. For this role you will require a strong understanding of structural racism.

As project lead you will be instrumental in preparing a detailed project plan for all phases of the project. The role will require a high degree of liaison and engagement with external practice partners and necessitates excellent communication skills alongside the ability to work collaboratively with people at all levels.
