Project Coordinator - United Kingdom - Your

Description

Lead key projects that improve the way we serve our communities

In Kensington and Chelsea, we put local people and local businesses at the heart of decision-making, working in partnership with them to provide quality services that are responsive, effective, and efficient.

Following the Grenfell tragedy, we're transforming many of our services, and have put in place a large number of improvement programmes across Environment & Neighbourhoods that focus on residents.

We're now expanding our team to ensure our ideas are put into action through effective project management.
You'll provide vital project management advice and expertise, and ensure diverse projects and programmes get off the ground. That means everything from steering the formation project teams, to helping to develop goals and objectives, to tracking progress. You'll report back regularly at our Environment & Neighbourhoods Director team meetings.

You'll have a busy workload from day one, so experience of project management is vital, along with plenty of initiative and self-confidence.

A competent multi-tasker, focused on results, you'll be capable of driving multiple projects. Exceptional communication skills, both in person and in writing, are vital to your success.

You must be able to deal persuasively with people covering a wide spectrum of interests, from senior management and council members to contractors and community leaders.

While a public sector background is not essential, you'll need some insight into the challenges and opportunities of working for a high-profile local authority.

In return, you can look forward to a package that includes a competitive salary, a high-quality pension scheme and generous annual leave plus bank holidays.
