Project /Programme Administrator

Are you highly organised, proactive and passionate about keeping things running smoothly? Do you enjoy working with a variety of people, organising information and helping teams deliver successful outcomes? We're looking for a Project Coordinator to join our IT Portfolio team on a 6-month fixed-term contract, supporting the delivery of a diverse portfolio of digital projects that make a real difference across the University.

Working alongside Project Managers, Programme Managers and Business Analysts, you'll help coordinate project activities, organise meetings and workshops, maintain project documentation and governance information, and support the successful delivery of projects. You'll also manage project records, RAID logs, actions and documentation, prepare reports and presentations, and provide a professional and responsive service to colleagues and stakeholders.

This role would suit someone with strong organisational and administrative skills who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and is looking to build experience in project delivery. Previous project experience is helpful but not essential—we're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, proactive, keen to learn and enjoys working collaboratively.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail.
• Enjoys working with a wide range of people and building positive working relationships.
• Can manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy.
• Is confident using Microsoft 365 applications such as Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Is proactive, takes initiative and enjoys solving problems.
• Has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Is keen to learn new systems and make effective use of digital and AI-enabled productivity tools.

In return, you'll join a friendly and supportive team that values collaboration, continuous improvement and personal development. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in project delivery while contributing to digital initiatives that support students, staff and the wider University community.

If you're looking for an opportunity to develop your skills, make a meaningful contribution and be part of a welcoming team, we'd love to hear from you.
