Project Support Assistant in Leeds

Screen Yorkshire supports film, TV and screen-based projects across Yorkshire. They work behind the scenes to help productions happen, support creative talent, and make sure people from different backgrounds can access opportunities in the screen industries.

Their work helps fund and deliver:

• training and skills programmes
• work placements and job opportunities
• projects that open doors into film, TV and creative careers

This role is part of the team that helps keep everything organised, recorded and running smoothly, so that projects can be funded properly and their impact can be clearly shown.

Who this role is for: This role is only open to care leavers who have previously struggled with mental and/or physical health and are now ready to take a supported step into work. You do not need experience in Film and TV. You do not need to be confident from day one. This role is about potential, reliability and willingness to learn, not being the finished article. If you like keeping things tidy, organised and up to date, and want to work somewhere that supports creative industries, this role could be a great fit.

What you'll do:

• Be part of the admin and monitoring team, helping keep track of activity, outcomes and deadlines.
• Keep records up to date.
• Enter information into spreadsheets and online systems.
• Check data is accurate and complete.
• Organise files so information and evidence is easy to find.
• Support funding claims.
• Help pull together information needed for funder reports.
• Work with colleagues to make sure deadlines are met.
• Keep track of what information is needed, and by when.
• Be the "go to" admin person.
• Answer basic questions about data or monitoring.
• Keep a shared calendar of deadlines.
• Take notes in meetings and share actions with the team.

Hours: 16 hours per week to start. This is a supported, part-time role designed to build confidence and routine. The aim is to progress to a longer-term role of up to 30 hours per week, where appropriate. Hours will be regular and agreed in advance, with flexibility where needed.

Person Specification: We're not looking for someone perfect. What we're looking for:

• Is organised and reliable.
• Is comfortable using computers (email, Excel, online systems).
• Pays attention to detail.
• Is happy working with numbers, lists and information.
• Can communicate clearly with colleagues.
• Is willing to learn and ask questions.

Experience with admin, data or office work is helpful but not essential. Support and training will be provided.

Training and Support: You won't be on your own. You'll receive loads of support through Supplytrain check-ins where we can talk through:

• How work is going day to day.
• Building confidence and routines.
• Understanding expectations and deadlines.
• Support if something feels difficult or overwhelming.

You'll also receive support from your line manager and colleagues to build experience that could lead to:

• More hours.
• A longer-term contract.
• Progression into an apprenticeship or further training.

Benefits:

• Work that makes a real difference.
• See the impact of your work on real people and funded projects.
• Friendly, inclusive and supportive team.
• Flexible and positive working culture.
• Develop transferable skills in data, admin and funding requirements.
• Experience relevant to the creative and cultural sectors.

Next steps - how to apply: Please send a short cover letter (it doesn't need to be perfect). In your cover letter, please confirm that you have been in the care system, confirm that you have struggled with mental and/or physical health in the past, explain why you want this job, and tell us what you like to do outside of work. We're much more interested in you than fancy writing!
