About the job
There is a full job description attached, but to give a flavour:
Project management at Oasis is about getting things done efficiently, effectively and collaboratively. From managing DfE bids to support our strategies to overseeing large capital projects in partnership with our capital projects team in property and estates. You may be working alongside our IT function to deliver exceptional technical solutions to enhance our teaching and learning in our academies throughout England whilst working with our Education teams to create ambitious teaching spaces in our buildings.
To achieve this (and to enjoy it) you must be able to manage projects. And that means you will be:
- Organised and able to multi-task – its never just one thing at a time
- A great written and verbal communicator – to write bids, prepare scoping documents, negotiate with suppliers and partners and more.
- Patient, persistent, dogged, determined – dealing with levels of bureaucracy can be wearing – so you’ll need some ‘resilience’ at times
- Observant and astute – to be able to foresee problems and predict events before they happen.
- Attention to detail (without being pedantic) – spotting mistakes that might derail a project is key.
- You’ll be comfortable with numbers and be tech savvy – spreadsheets, project plans, slide decks etc
- And above all – you must be brilliant at forging, maintaining and nurturing relationships. Things get done better and quicker if stakeholders, partners, clients, colleagues and random people like the way you operate.
So, if this sounds like the sort of work you would like to be involved with and you understand the demands of delivering projects in education where each day brings its own set of challenges, surprises, successes and rewards, then we would like to learn more about you.
Please read the full job description and if our ambition matches yours – please apply.
