Project Support Officer

Purpose: A Project Support Officer is required for an education-based programme in Hertfordshire. We're looking for an experienced project support officer who is ideally looking to build on their current experience of general project support (reporting, planning, tracking, risks/issues, documentation management etc) with a role that includes lots of day to day activity and where the project support officer is required to pick up ad-hoc project related tasks and activities.

We're looking for a self-starter, a support officer who likes an environment where there is a lot of activity and a fair degree of autonomy with plenty of delegation from the Project Manager and team.

The project is part of a large change for the organisation - a high profile project which requires an experienced and motivated project support officer. More details about the project are available during the screening.

Candidates should have demonstrable experience in project support and should be able to clearly demonstrate their experience in the core areas of support. PRINCE2 accreditations would be desirable and certainly advantageous and candidates must be degree educated.

If you're looking for a role to consolidate and build on your project career so far and looking for an opportunity to work within a busy and demanding project this could be the role for you.
