Salary: from £16 per hour (subject to experience)
Hours: Part‑time (20 – 25 hrs)
Contract: Fixed term to 31 March 2028 (extension subject to funding)
Location: Home‑based (equipment and assessment provided) with significant travel to providers across Berkshire and occasional meetings outside of Berkshire (travel paid).
Working in partnership with our sister association, Oxfordshire Association of Care Providers, we are looking for a proactive, organised and relationship‑focused Project Worker to help deliver the digital programme in Berkshire as part of the wider Digital Security Protection Toolkit project (full training provided).
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy and meaningful work. You’ll be part of a small, friendly, mission‑driven team working closely with local authorities, the NHS, national partners and hundreds of care providers. This is a hybrid role with some elements of home working, a significant amount of time being spent out visiting providers across Berkshire (focussing on Reading and Slough), and some meetings at other locations.
Why this role matters
Adult social care is under huge pressure — and the work you do will directly support providers to improve digital compliance along with other support that the Care Association is able to offer.

o Compiling monitoring data for internal and external reporting.
o Managing day‑to‑day project tasks including calls, emails, spreadsheets, and online meetings.
o Ensuring GDPR and data security standards are upheld.
· Representing BCA at internal and external meetings.
· Contributing to the development of project documents and resources.
· Taking part in training and development as required.
· Opportunity to get involved in other projects as they develop
