Are you leaving or have recently left the Armed Forces and looking to apply your operational, organisational, and leadership experience in a structured civilian environment? This is an opportunity to join a high-impact transformation programme supporting critical national capabilities. You’ll play a central role in keeping complex programmes running smoothly - bringing the same discipline, attention to detail, and skills developed during service.
The Role
As a Project Support Officer, you will sit at the heart of a large-scale transformation programme, ensuring effective coordination, governance, and delivery support across multiple projects. You’ll be responsible for maintaining structure, driving momentum, and enabling senior leaders to make informed decisions - much like a staff or operations support role in a military environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Planning & Scheduling: Maintain and track programme plans, ensuring accuracy and alignment across teams
- Monitoring & Reporting: Produce performance reports and support regular reporting cycles to stakeholders
- Governance & Assurance: Ensure adherence to programme controls, standards, and best practices
- Operational Support: Prepare documentation and artefacts for boards and decision-making forums
- Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong working relationships across internal and external teams
- Financial Oversight: Track budgets, forecasts, and expenditure
- Risk & Issue Management: Maintain risk registers and ensure issues are actively managed and resolved
What We’re Looking For
- Background in structured project, programme, or operational delivery environments
- Strong organisational and administrative skills with the ability to manage competing priorities
- Experience managing risks, issues, and dependencies through to resolution
- Confident communicator with strong stakeholder engagement skills
- Familiarity with governance frameworks and assurance processes
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Teams, SharePoint, etc.)
Qualifications (or equivalent experience)
- APM, PRINCE2 Practitioner, or demonstrable experience working within formal project/programme frameworks
Desirable
- Experience with programme/project tools (e.g., portfolio management systems, reporting tools)
- Exposure to both agile and traditional (waterfall) delivery environments
