Programme Management Support Officer

Job Overview

This new role offers a great opportunity to work alongside senior leaders and project specialists, contributing to work that shapes services and outcomes for our communities. You will join a friendly, professional and supportive team that values collaboration, flexibility and development, and build your experience in a dynamic public sector environment.

As Programme Management Support Officer, you will play a central role in keeping our programme management function running smoothly. Your work will include arranging Programme and Strategic Board meetings, helping to develop and implement consistent project management processes, supporting the collection and presentation of performance and project data, and maintaining accurate records and systems.
