Project Manager

Prison Advice and Care Trust United Kingdom

Introduction Pact is a pioneering national charity that cares for men, women and young people in custody, those with criminal convictions in the community and their children, family members and carers. We have about 400 staff, income of about £10m and work across 60 prisons in England and Wales, with additional probation work and other services over the country. Pact currently uses software, ECINS, to record and track casework with service users. We have been using the system since 2014 principally for our 'Family and Significant Other Service' contracts. These services are commissioned by the Ministry of Justice for custody-based casework support for women and men in prison. We have now outgrown the software in terms of our operational requirements. There are currently Pact 268 practitioners working on c1,400 cases at a time. The case management system is used across multiple other smaller contracts each with their bespoke reporting requirements. This system is also used by a small number of subcontractors/partners of Pact. Our business needs are changing. We plan to continue to deliver the above contracts. In addition, we have now tendered for a number of contracts under the next commissioning round by the Ministry of Justice for rehabilitation services in support of the Probation Service (known as Commissioned Rehabilitation Services). Decisions are expected August/September. These contracts will require us to have a more comprehensive system in place to meet more stringent and complex reporting requirements. The system would need not only to record the casework delivery but also provide diary management, reporting against KPIs (including incentivised payments against performance targets) and act as our contract management system for these contracts. This would see Pact managing a number of contracts working with between 2,000 to 9,000 people both in custody, and on Probation, per annum, in addition to the above figures. We need to expedite procurement of a system to meet the needs of the expected new Commissioned Rehabilitation Services contracts. Our expectation is that this system will also need to be fit for purpose for our existing Family and Significant Other Services contracts, and our ambition is to procure a system which we could subsequently transition existing caseloads to, so that we have a single case management system for both sets of contracts. This is important as there will be a significant overlap of cases (prisoners and people on probation) with whom we will work via both sets of contracts, and we require a 'single version of the truth'. We now require the support of a project manager to lead the procurement and implementation of a new system working with our Senior Information Officer who is responsible for the day-to-day management, training and support for our case management system. Overall Target Procure and implement a CMS at Pact by 11 December 2026, ensuring users are trained and supported in using the system for the mobilisation of a new contract going live in March 2027 and then migrating other operational contracts across to the new system between April and July 2027. In Detail 1. Review business case and needs assessment and finalise specification documentation. 2. Create an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for relevant software providers and obtain internal sign-off. 3. Lead the promotion, distribution and follow up of the ITT to relevant software providers. 4. Create a scoring grid for tenders and (where needed) attend the most promising demos. The expectation is that at least 5 options will be identified and investigated, with at least 3 viable software options chosen for review. 5. Identify key risks of the project and create a risk register with mitigations. 6. Lead the internal process for deciding the winning tender. 7. Negotiate the best value contract possible with the supplier, in liaison with Pact's Contracts and Data Protection Consultant (in role). 8. Lead the creation of an implementation plan with the software provider, Senior Information Officer and key Pact stakeholders. Included in the plan will be training for users. 9. Lead the delivery of the implementation plan working with Pact's Senior Information Officer. Requirements for Consultant 10. Significant experience of project managing the procurement and implementation of critical IT systems in an organisation of our size. 11. Significant understanding of data protection and the handling of sensitive data. 12. Availability during the consulting period. A maximum of two weeks break could be agreed if there is no detriment to the project deadline. 13. Desirable — experience of software for case history databases or other databases where the individual is the key index. 14. Desirable — experience of working with software used in the public sector, particularly the criminal justice system. 15. Desirable — UK or EU-based. Application Assessment: Implementation Phasing Plan Alongside your covering letter and CV, we are asking all candidates to complete a short written assessment as part of their application. This is a deliberate part of our selection process — rather than relying on our own assumptions about how this project should be phased, we want to understand how candidates read and engage with the brief. Assessment Requirement: Implementation Phasing Plan As part of your application, you are required to submit a short, written phasing plan as an additional document alongside your covering letter and CV. This is a core element of the selection process. Your plan should be no longer than two sides of A4 and address the following: 1. Your proposed phasing of the project from contract award through to full system rollout (April–September 2027), including key milestones. 2. How you would approach the transition from the existing system (ECINS) to the new CMS — particularly the overlap period during which both systems may be in use. 3. Your assumptions — we are interested in understanding how you read the brief and where you would expect to find further information once engaged. 4. Any early risks or dependencies you have identified that could affect the phasing. There is no single correct answer. We are looking for evidence of structured thinking, practical project management experience, and an ability to engage meaningfully with a complex brief under uncertainty. Please attach your phasing plan as a separate document when submitting your application. There is no prescribed format, but we recommend a clear structure with headings. Visual representations such as a simple Gantt or timeline are welcome but not required. How to Express an Interest Please send a covering letter and your CV to development@prisonadvice.org.uk The covering letter should outline at least three examples of similar procurements & implementations. Please also include your Implementation Phasing Plan as a separate document (see Assessment section above).

Start your search today — browse all available IT Jobs in Liverpool and apply directly to roles that match your skills and career goals. Why Liverpool Is a Leading Destination for IT Professionals The technology sector in Liverpool has matured into one of the most dynamic in the UK. Investment from both domestic businesses and international technology companies has created a jobs market that rewards technical expertise across all experience levels. Liverpool's position as an energetic and fast-growing tech city with strengths in health tech, digital media, maritime technology, and public sector digital transformation, supported by the Liverpool City Region's Digital Strategy means that IT professionals benefit from access to a broad range of employers and project types. The city's Liverpool Lime Street station with services to London, Manchester, and Birmingham; the Merseyrail network, the M62 motorway, and Liverpool Airport makes it accessible to candidates commuting from Birkenhead, Warrington, Chester, and the wider Merseyside region, further widening the talent pool and opportunity base. The concentration of leading technology employers including Alder Hey Innovation (digital health), Liverpool City Council (digital), Unilever (tech), Matalan (IT), Node4, and a thriving community of start-ups and digital agencies in the Baltic Triangle ensures that IT professionals always have a rich pipeline of compelling opportunities to explore. Most In-Demand IT Roles in Liverpool Employers across Liverpool are consistently recruiting across a wide range of specialisms. Software engineers and developers — particularly those with expertise in cloud-native technologies, microservices architecture, and modern frameworks such as React, Node.js, Python, and Go — are among the most sought-after. Data engineers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers are in exceptional demand as organisations compete to extract value from data. Cybersecurity professionals — including SOC analysts, penetration testers, and security architects — are urgently needed across every sector. DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineers with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform expertise remain consistently scarce relative to demand. Product managers with a technical background, UX researchers, and digital delivery managers complete the picture of a diverse and active market. IT Salary Guide for Liverpool Compensation for IT professionals in Liverpool reflects strong demand and growing competition among employers. Graduate developers and junior IT analysts typically start between £25,000 and £38,000 depending on specialism and employer. Mid-level engineers with three to six years of experience command £27,000 to £58,000+, with tech leads and principal engineers at the upper end of that range and beyond. Senior architects, engineering managers, and heads of technology in Liverpool regularly earn six-figure packages. Contract and freelance IT professionals working day rates earn between £350 and £850 per day depending on their stack, seniority, and sector. Many Liverpool technology employers now offer equity participation, flexible working arrangements, and comprehensive benefits packages as standard components of total compensation. Key Sectors and Industries Driving IT Hiring in Liverpool The technology hiring landscape in Liverpool is shaped by several key sectors. Digital health, maritime technology, e-commerce engineering, cloud computing, software development, and data analytics represent the areas of greatest activity. Financial services and FinTech continue to demand sophisticated software and data capabilities. The public sector — spanning healthcare, government digital services, and education — is undergoing significant digital transformation and consistently requires IT talent across all levels. Retail and e-commerce technology, logistics platforms, and digital media businesses add further breadth. Consultancies and systems integrators serving clients across industries provide a different type of career experience, offering broad project variety and accelerated skills development. Whatever your speciality, Liverpool's diverse employment base ensures that you can find an environment and mission that aligns with your ambitions. Skills That Maximise Your Value in the Liverpool IT Market Staying competitive in Liverpool's IT job market requires a combination of technical depth and professional breadth. Cloud platform certifications — particularly AWS Solutions Architect, Microsoft Azure Administrator, or Google Cloud Professional — are highly valued across sectors. Proficiency in containerisation and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes has moved from desirable to expected in many DevOps roles. For data professionals, expertise in Python, SQL, Spark, and modern orchestration platforms like Airflow or dbt strengthens your profile considerably. Cybersecurity practitioners benefit enormously from certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or SC-200. Equally important are communication, stakeholder management, and the ability to articulate technical decisions to non-technical audiences — skills that consistently distinguish good engineers from excellent ones.

Registering with a specialist IT job board — one focused exclusively on technology roles — gives you access to the highest concentration of relevant vacancies. Uploading an up-to-date CV with clearly defined technical skills, specific project achievements, and quantified outcomes significantly improves your visibility to recruiters.

Consultancies and systems integrators serving clients across industries provide a different type of career experience, offering broad project variety and accelerated skills development. Whatever your speciality, Nottingham's diverse employment base ensures that you can find an environment and mission that aligns with your ambitions.

FinTech, data science, public sector digital services, games development, cybersecurity, and AI research represent the areas of greatest activity. Financial services and FinTech continue to demand sophisticated software and data capabilities. The public sector — spanning healthcare, government digital services, and education — is undergoing significant digital transformation and consistently requires IT talent across all levels. Retail and e-commerce technology, logistics platforms, and digital media businesses add further breadth. Consultancies and systems integrators serving clients across industries provide a different type of career experience, offering broad project variety and accelerated skills development. Whatever your speciality, Edinburgh's diverse employment base ensures that you can find an environment and mission that aligns with your ambitions. Skills That Maximise Your Value in the Edinburgh IT Market Staying competitive in Edinburgh's IT job market requires a combination of technical depth and professional breadth. Cloud platform certifications — particularly AWS Solutions Architect, Microsoft Azure Administrator, or Google Cloud Professional — are highly valued across sectors. Proficiency in containerisation and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes has moved from desirable to expected in many DevOps roles. For data professionals, expertise in Python, SQL, Spark, and modern orchestration platforms like Airflow or dbt strengthens your profile considerably. Cybersecurity practitioners benefit enormously from certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or SC-200. Equally important are communication, stakeholder management, and the ability to articulate technical decisions to non-technical audiences — skills that consistently distinguish good engineers from excellent ones. How to Find and Land IT Jobs in Edinburgh The most effective job search strategies combine several channels. Registering with a specialist IT job board — one focused exclusively on technology roles — gives you access to the highest concentration of relevant vacancies. Uploading an up-to-date CV with clearly defined technical skills, specific project achievements, and quantified outcomes significantly improves your visibility to recruiters. LinkedIn remains essential for professional networking, direct outreach, and engagement with Edinburgh's technology community. Attending local tech meetups, hackathons, and industry events builds relationships that often surface opportunities before they are publicly listed. Engaging with a specialist technology recruiter who knows the Edinburgh market can also surface exclusive roles and provide valuable guidance on positioning your skills and negotiating competitive compensation. Frequently Asked Questions About IT Jobs in Edinburgh Q: What are the best areas in Edinburgh to find IT jobs?
