SalaryGot a fantastic eye for detail? Strong people skills? You could be the ideal Project Support Officer for our Head of Technology. Join us, and you can kick off a career in one of our most exciting and fast-paced areas. If you're a natural multi-tasker, keep reading.
In this vital support role, you'll be based within the Project Delivery Office within the Counter Terrorism Policing Technology pillar. It's here that Specialist Operations (SO) and National Counter Terrorism (CT) technology projects and programmes are delivered.
Your main task will be to provide the Head of ICT with high calibre administrative support day to day. So, you'll be organising meetings, managing diaries, taking minutes, and dealing with finance, planning, resourcing and communications. You may also be involved in project-related tasks when the need arises.
When you're not supporting the Head of ICT, you'll be producing reports, and providing guidance on project governance and planning. A critical friend to key stakeholders, you'll make sure all activity is in line with the strategic directions from the Head of ICT, which means working with senior managers across the Technology Portfolio.
Our world moves fast, so you'll need to enjoy a challenge. You'll use your keen eye for detail every day, especially when dealing with reports and taking minutes. We're also looking for in-depth knowledge of MS Office tools, particularly Word and Outlook. And finally, you'll need to be a multi-tasker and people person, who plans and communicates outstandingly.
Besides the rewarding nature of the job itself, a competitive salary and a Civil Service pension, you'll benefit from excellent career and professional development.
