These include the implementation of a new HR system, a Smarter Working project to overhaul our working practices, a rollout of Office365 as well as important regulatory programmes of work such as GDPR.

You'll support a change portfolio within IT, coordinating project activities. This will include managing schedules, arrange assignments and working closing with the wider team of Project Managers and communicating progress to all team members.

You'll take the lead on preparing action and tracking plans, updating and ensuring project documentation is up to date.

About you

You'll be able to demonstrate a track record of working in programme or project support and have a key understanding of project delivery approaches and concepts.
