Our members are active in 83 countries and work tirelessly to serve their communities to build a future where everyone thrives. Founded in 1876, Mothers Union is a women-led volunteer movement, with a membership of 4 million people around the world, 36,000 of whom live in the UK and Ireland. Based on Christian fellowship, members express their faith through action in their local communities, aiming to create a world where every individual can reach their full potential, by stopping poverty, injustice and violence. The opportunity In 2026, Mothers Union will be 150 years young. This is a major opportunity for MU to celebrate with the membership, and also to use the opportunity to reach out to new members and supporters. The following have been identified as the major activities for the year: London, June 10th: Thanksgiving Service in St Paul s Cathedral at 5pm, followed by a possible reception. London, June 11th: Celebratory Gathering of the membership in central London, at the Emmanuel Centre, near to the base of MU in Mary Sumner House, Westminster. A physical exhibition in Mary Sumner House, and a virtual exhibition which can tour. Between March (Lady Day) and August (Mary Sumner Day) a range of events organized by provinces and local dioceses, for membership and fundraising, including picnics, Sunday Takeovers and local initiatives such as tree planting. In South Africa in October, a Global Gathering of 2500 members and guests, preceded by a leadership. meeting ( Worldwide Council ) and followed by a Worldwide Board meeting. For all, a cohesive communications plan is being prepared. Current Status Individual teams are taking ownership of elements, which particularly for membership and fundraising initiatives include targets for delivery. These are being finalized as part of the current budgeting process We are, however, a small staff team, and this workload will be exceptional. Teams are discussing interdependencies and synergies across work streams, but there is a need to ensure that these are coordinated and monitored, and any issues or clashes in priority quickly identified and resolved. Throughout, close collaboration between the staff team and membership will be essential. The role There is a need for an experienced project manager to join the team, from October 2025 to November 2026, to provide co-ordination across streams and stakeholders, flag issues early, ensure that all activities are properly planned, resourced and within budget, and that relevant stakeholders are kept informed. Key Responsibilities In collaboration with each stream leader, to put together a masterplan with associated budgets, drawing together what has already been prepared, and flagging any potential gaps, synergies or conflicts, for resolution. This plan will identify clearly accountabilities (and how these sit with the wider work of teams and individuals, staff and members or volunteers). With the leads, to share the masterplan with the Board, for approval, and provide regular reporting, in line with agreed milestones.
