About The ExtraCare Charitable Trust
The ExtraCare Charitable Trust is a registered charity established in 1988 and based in Coventry. ExtraCare creates communities that offer homes, enjoyable lifestyles and access to care when it is needed.
- Vision: 'Better Lives for Older People'
- Mission: To create sustainable communities that provide homes older people want, lifestyles they can enjoy, and care if it is needed.
To deliver their vision and mission they essentially do three things:
- Develop new villages.
- Operate villages and schemes.
- Support their villages, schemes, and their 'extra-care' model through fundraising, advocacy, and research.
Their locations provide vibrant communities for people aged over 55, supporting a healthy, active, and independent lifestyle in later years. As a charity, surpluses are reinvested into charitable activities to help provide better services and support.
Responsibilities
- Support the Portfolio Manager in implementing project management standards and best practice across the Digital Transformation Team.
- Help define project scope, goals, deliverables, plans, and responsibilities.
- Work with subject matter experts to formulate and communicate solution options.
- Plan, organise, and implement digital projects, including coordinating system rollouts and delegating actions.
- Facilitate project meetings and workshops, including lessons-learned sessions, to support effective communication and collaboration.
- Produce clear project reports that demonstrate progress and support decision-making.
- Collaborate with project teams, stakeholders, business managers, and suppliers.
- Ensure effective project communication and change management throughout delivery.
- Create and maintain accurate project documentation.
- Manage risks, issues, dependencies, and change control, including tracking and reporting with business managers.
- Coordinate solution testing and user acceptance testing, helping to resolve issues experienced by business leads and end users.
- Ensure benefits assessments are completed following deployment and at project close.
- Travel to ExtraCare locations as required, particularly during implementation, to help embed change.
