St Monica Trust is more than a housing and care provider. As a charity, it has a long-standing commitment to creating places where older people can truly thrive. Its developments are driven by purpose rather than profit, and it invests in high‑quality, sustainable environments that genuinely enhance people’s lives.

St Monica Trust takes a community‑first approach, designing villages that are connected, inclusive, and integrated into their local surroundings.

The charity is seeking to appoint a Project Manager (New Developments) to support the delivery of an ambitious pipeline of newbuild, refurbishment and village development projects across its estates portfolio. This is a key position within the Estates & Development team and offers the opportunity to shape high‑quality, sustainable environments where older people can truly flourish.

Working closely with the Director of Estates and Capital Development, you will lead and manage construction projects up to £50m from inception through to completion. The successful candidate will bring strong technical insight, excellent programme management capability, and a values‑led approach consistent with St Monica Trust’s commitment to creating thriving communities.

We are seeking:

Proven experience leading construction projects £20m+ through all RIBA stages.
Strong understanding of design coordination, construction processes, and programme management.
Experience administering JCT or NEC contracts, including procurement and performance oversight.
Confidence managing consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders.
Understanding of UK planning processes, building regulations, H&S and compliance requirements.
Ability to manage budgets, risk, reporting and complex timelines.
Professional qualification (MRICS, MCIOB, MAPM) or equivalent senior experience preferred.
A collaborative, thoughtful, relationship‑driven working style aligned with our organisational values

This is a pivotal role within a growing Estates & Development function, offering the opportunity to deliver projects with real social value and long‑term impact. Our developments are driven by purpose rather than profit, ensuring we design and build communities where older people can thrive.
