As the Programme Assistant you’ll be part of a dynamic team making a real impact on communities, playing an essential role in shaping the success of projects that enhance local schools, corporate spaces, and community facilities, contributing to an even better quality of life for our residents. This role is your opportunity to be hands-on in supporting the Council’s ambitious capital programme, helping us achieve lasting improvements and drive forward our journey to a carbon net zero future by 2037.
Working alongside Programme Managers and Project Leads, you’ll be central to the delivery on a wide array of impactful projects. From organising and managing programme documentation to coordinating agendas and ensuring follow-ups, your support will be central to our success. You’ll be a trusted contact for stakeholders, assisting in the creation of project communication plans and fostering positive relationships with all stakeholders.
The ideal candidate will be a natural organiser with an eye for detail, someone who thrives in a structured yet dynamic environment. Previous experience in project support is beneficial but not essential—what’s most important is a proactive attitude and the drive to see projects succeed.
