Project Support

Role Responsibility

We are offering an exciting opportunity to work within the Innovation Delivery Team’s PMO (Portfolio Management Office) and support on a variety of new and existing projects that will help contribute towards the organisation’s strategic objectives.   

The PMO is the 'engine room’ of the Transformation and Delivery Team and provides a number of services to the team, including delivering training on our Project Management system; monitoring the Portfolio’s overall health and providing reports to Senior Management; supporting with creating and / or delivering high quality workshops; and benefits realisation, to name a few.  

As a Project Support (also known as a PMO Coordinator) you may also be assigned to specific Projects to support them with monitoring and reporting through the project management system, as well as planning and organising meetings and minutes. 

The Person 

Strong organisation skills and the ability to develop and maintain positive relationships are essential for the role. We are looking for someone with a proactive approach to problem solving, with a flair for creativity in their work. You could be supporting several projects or working with staff from other teams in the Directorate, so good communication skills are a must. You will act on your own initiative to help support the projects, overcoming obstacles along the way.
