Main duties of the job

Supporting programme and project delivery is a large part of this role and will require someone with the ability to plan, analyse, report, and ensure delivery of key milestones through an entire project lifecycle. Communication skills are key, with a requirement to work with individuals across varying organisations, at different levels of seniority. The role also requires interpretation of complex information to varying audiences, including training other workforce members or cascading to members of the public and those who use our services.
