Interim Project Manager (Home to School Transport)
Local Authority, North West of England
3-6 months (with likely extension)
Outside IR35
Part time - 3 days per week - 1 day in office per week

Panoramic Associates is currently working with a Local Authority client based in the South of England to facilitate the appointment of an Interim Project Manager (Home to School) on an interim basis for 3-6 months (with likely extension).

This is a pivotal assignment within the Home to School Transport team, where the service is undergoing a major system implementation after operating manually for over 30 years. The team is struggling to adopt a new platform (I-site / Liquid Logic) and without intervention, the programme risks further inefficiencies. The role is focused not just on project delivery, but on process redesign, coaching, and change management to help a team with low digital maturity embrace transformation.

Responsibilities of the Role:

Lead process mapping and service redesign across existing work streams
Drive digital transformation and identify quick wins to build team confidence
Support a resistant team to adopt new systems and ways of working
Provide project management structure and oversight to mitigate programme risks

To be successful in the role you will have:

Proven experience in service redesign and process improvement/transformation.
Home to school transport experience desirable.
Background in coaching teams with low digital maturity
Formal Lean qualification (e.g., Yellow Belt) desirable
Local Authority experience required

Next Steps
This assignment is a 6 month contract with likely extension Outside IR35. There will be a mixture of remote working with a requirement to be onsite 1 day per week.

Interviews will be taking place in the next couple of weeks. If you are interested in knowing more, apply today or contact Rashani Johnson @ Panoramic Associates
