À propos

While predominantly known for the role Cafcass takes in supporting almost 140,000+ children and young people in family court cases, what may be less well known is that our targeted use of technology is a key factor in ensuring we are at the forefront of our sector.
A digital organisation rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2024, our IT team, in collaboration with our private sector partners, provides the technology that is a critical enabler for our diverse, flexible, mobile workforce. We are proud to work hand-in-hand with colleagues to provide the tools and services that ultimately benefit children and families.
As we continue to evolve and grow our team, we are recruiting for a number of roles that whilst distinct, have some common features and therefore you may want to view all of these to decide which best play to your strengths > current vacancies.
About the role
We are seeking two experienced Senior IT Project Managers to support the successful delivery of a portfolio of IT projects and programmes across Cafcass. Working closely with the IT Programme Manager, you will lead large-scale and/or complex transformational projects, provide leadership to project teams, and ensure that agreed outcomes and benefits are delivered to time, cost and quality. Whilst we already achieve a 95% staff satisfaction with our technology, we have an ambitious programme in place to make it even better.
This is a key leadership role, combining hands-on project delivery with coaching and mentoring of IT Project Managers and strong stakeholder engagement at all levels.
Key responsibilities
Lead and manage complex IT projects from initiation through to implementation
Provide visible leadership to IT Project Managers and project teams
Plan and manage multiple projects concurrently within agreed governance
Select and apply appropriate delivery methodologies (e.g. Agile, Waterfall)
Manage project budgets, risks, issues and dependencies
Ensure project benefits are clearly defined, tracked and realised
Challenge assumptions and provide assurance on plans, delivery and outcomes
Report progress, risks and finances to sponsor boards and senior leaders
Build strong partnerships with business stakeholders, PMO and suppliers
About you
You will be a confident and experienced IT Project Manager with strong leadership capability and a track record of delivering complex change in demanding environments.
You will have:
Substantial IT project management experience, including risk, issue and budget management
Line management experience and experience leading project teams and working with external suppliers
Strong knowledge of Agile and traditional delivery approaches
Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
Experience working with sensitive and confidential data
Desirable:
Practitioner-level project management qualification
Degree-level qualification (preferably IT-related)
What we offer
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer generous annual leave (28 days rising to 33 days with 5 years’ continuous service, and it may be possible to recognise your current service), a Local Government Pension Scheme with significant employer contribution and a range of other financial and non-financial benefits to support your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.
Where you will work
If you join us, whilst your contractual office base will be one of the 30+ offices we have across England, it is highly likely you will work remotely as you will be part of a team based around the country. However, you can expect some level of national travel for things like meetings with your team, senior leaders and key suppliers.
Timeline
Here is an indicative timeline for the recruitment process:
Closing date
{Expiry Date}
Initial interview (remote via Teams)
29 & 30 June 2026
Meet the team (remote via Teams)
6 July 2026
Final interview (in-person, Manchester)
14 July 2026
We have purposefully set an initial deadline not too far away but reserve the right to extend. If we do, this doesn’t necessarily reflect the quality of anyone that has already applied, only that we wish to extend to allow more people to apply and give ourselves the broadest pool of applicants to consider.
While we don’t wish to discourage you from using AI as a support tool, applications should reflect your own thinking, experience and voice, as overreliance on AI-generated content may limit our ability to assess your suitability for the role.
As long as you have started your application by the closing date, you will have up to two days to complete and submit your application.
The ‘meet the team’ is an informal opportunity for you to meet the wider IT team (including those you may line manage) and key internal stakeholders, something that when we’ve recruited previously applicants have found valuable in helping them to get a deeper insight into our team, organisation and culture.
In anticipation of your application being successful, you might want to read about the offer and pre-employment checks process. As part of your application, you can highlight any concerns or questions about the pre-employment checks and we encourage all applicants to do so, safe in the knowledge such information will not be shared with individuals involved in the selection process.
Please be advised successful applicants will be subject to a range of pre-engagement checks, including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS). In accordance with the DBS code of practice and our own policy, should an individual have a declared criminal offence an individual assessment will be completed. Further information on what the assessment covers can be found by viewing the Cafcass DBS policy.
We look forward to hearing from you.
We are Cafcass – the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service – and we represent children in family court cases in England.
Independently advising the family courts about what is safe for children and in their best interests, we speak up for over 140,0000 children every year when the family court makes critical decisions about their futures, ensuring their needs, wishes and feelings are heard.
Watch our video to find out we don’t just listen to children’s voices but we can be their voice.
