We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working. What you’ll be doing As our Programme Manager, you’ll lead the delivery of a major transformation programme focused on how the IET works with and supports volunteers across the organisation.

Experience supporting organisational or cultural change will be valuable, particularly where you’ve helped colleagues adopt new ways of working or navigate periods of transition. Most importantly, you’ll bring a collaborative and pragmatic approach – someone who can balance strong programme discipline with the ability to coach, guide and support others to succeed.
