• Assist with the coordination of programme communications, including leadership updates and all-hands sessions
• Promote consistent ways of working by supporting templates, tools and governance frameworks
• Work collaboratively across a UK-wide programme, supporting multiple stakeholders and teams

About you

• Experience in an administrative, business support or coordination role, ideally within a project or programme environment
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple activities and maintain accurate records
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, with the ability to prioritise and follow up on actions independently
• Confident communicator, able to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels across a geographically dispersed team
• Experience using structured trackers, logs or project management tools to support delivery
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 tools, including Teams, SharePoint and PowerPoint (experience with AI-supported functionality is a plus)
• High attention to detail and ability to handle sensitive information with discretion
• Previous exposure to project or programme delivery environments would be highly beneficial

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £30,000 - £35,000 – dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%.
