The Role:
We are seeking an enthusiastic and proactive Delivery Manager to ensure the successful delivery of Southwark Monitoring and Alarm Response Team’s (SMART) digital transformation.
SMART provide a call monitoring, emergency response and equipment installation service to over 4,000 vulnerable people across Southwark and Lambeth.
BT Openreach announced the switch-off of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) by 2025. The vast majority of SMART clients rely on traditional copper-based telephony networks to connect to Southwark’s Alarm Receiving Centre. Therefore, all SMART clients would need to be switched to a digital phone line and their equipment replaced before 2025.

About You:
The role of Delivery Manager will play an essential part in the shift from analogue to digital telecare, which has the potential to dramatically transform the future of over 4,000 service users across Southwark and Lambeth. One of the key objectives will be to support the planning and operational management of SMART Digital Transformation Programme.
