• Coordinate internal resources, manage timelines, and maintain a robust project plan.
• Build and sustain relationships with stakeholders, councillors, senior officers, and community partners.
• Oversee project documentation and reporting, ensuring senior stakeholders are informed with detailed progress updates.
• Manage risk, resolve issues, and ensure milestones are met on time and within budget.

Who We're Looking For

• Proven experience delivering complex public sector or service transformation projects.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Strong organisational and time management abilities.
• Confidence managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.
• A recognised project management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, APM, or equivalent) is essential.

Role Details

• Working Pattern: Monday-Friday
• Hours: 36.25 per week
• Location: Whitwick Business Centre, Coalville (LE67 4JP)
