✨ We’re looking for someone who thrives on leading digital projects, improving systems, and driving innovation to keep our charity modern, efficient, and always focused on the young people we support ✨
Our Charity
No Limits is the leading youth services charity in Southampton, supporting children and young people in the city and across Hampshire.
At No Limits, it is important our staff and volunteers reflect, represent, and have experience of the challenges faced by the children and young people we support. We are proud of and appreciate our many staff and volunteers who use their own lived experience to support the children and young people they work with.
With this in mind, we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in all aspects of our work and organisational culture – and when recruiting, it’s important to us that we continue diversifying our staff and volunteer teams, with children and young people at the centre of everything we do. You can learn more about our DEI approach here.
When we talk about talent, we value the transferrable skills and experiences you can bring to No Limits, whether through work (in the same or a different sector), volunteering, or personal experiences. To make sure we get the best talent on our team, we are open to and actively encourage applications from all backgrounds and sections of the community, including diverse ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and neurodiverse individuals.
Your Role
As Digital Transformation Manager, you will lead the digital and technology transformation agenda for No Limits. This pivotal role will see you working alongside internal teams and external partners to deliver projects that modernise and future-proof our systems. You will develop and implement long-term digital strategies, ensuring our technology and data platforms are efficient, secure, and scalable, while enhancing the services we provide to staff, volunteers, and the children and young people we support.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Leading and project managing digital transformation initiatives across the charity.
- Developing a sustainable IT model aligned with No Limits’ strategic aims.
- Overseeing digital systems and technology investments, driving opportunities for efficiency and innovation.
- Working collaboratively with stakeholders to align digital solutions with organisational needs.
- Providing leadership to our internal Data Team and managing relationships with outsourced IT providers.
We are committed to making a difference in the lives of the children and young people we work with, and as such, you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the No Limits ethos. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people is paramount.
We particularly welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and those who have had experiences similar to the young people we aim to support. We are committed to creating a diverse environment where people can be their authentic selves, where their experiences and opinions are valued, and we are all open to learning from each other.
As part of our team, you’ll receive a comprehensive induction and access to learning and development opportunities relevant to your role, supporting your ongoing growth.
You’ll have the essentials of:
- Proven experience in delivering digital and technology strategies.
- Strong technical expertise, with the ability to lead digital, technology, and data initiatives and provide hands-on development support.
- Strong project management skills, leading complex digital projects.
- Excellent communication and leadership abilities, able to engage stakeholders and lead teams.
- A strategic, solutions-driven mindset with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement.
Please let us know if we can support you with any reasonable adjustments at any point prior to, during or after the selection process, such as access arrangements, flexible working, or a suitable place to pray.
