About the role

As Project Coordinator you will be the point of contact for Hospice UK’s ECHO Programmes, and provide coordination across the team and external stakeholders. 

While based from the Hospice UK Office in London you will also be involved closely with the project team in Belfast and with the ECHO Institute in Albuquerque.  The ECHO methodology demonstrates “everyone a teacher, everyone a learner” philosophy that lies at the heart of ECHO, and which has been so important through the pandemic for our Hospice Sector. You will become a member of an extended ECHO community throughout the UK and beyond. Our values are at the heart of everything we do, we work in collaboration, with compassion, are inclusive, innovative and knowledgeable. 

The established ECHO team will support you, including the Project Support Officer (your line manager) and Programme Manager.  As 2023 is set to be a year of development for Project ECHO within Hospice UK’s strategic vision, the Project Coordinator will be a key member of our team going forward and making this vision a reality. 

This role will provide an opportunity to work with a number of external stakeholders to coordinate our Hospice UK ECHO Networks, and manage the shared learning from ECHO sessions through our digital platforms. 

About the person

You will have excellent communications and organisational skills, have the ability to work collaboratively within the immediate team and wider organisation and be able to manage competing priorities as set against a planned ECHO Programme.  Strong attention to detail with a proactive solution based approach to work. 

Experience in MS365, ZOOM, databases and content management systems is essential for this role, as well as ability to develop content for e-newsletters or social media posts.

More information about the role can be found in the job description and person specification.
