An exciting opportunity is available as a Project Support Officer, working across Policy and Insight.

You will play a key role in supporting the teams that deliver across climate and nature, poverty, equality, third sector, community planning, data, performance and business planning. Your role will help shape the future of the city.

The role is ideal for a highly organised person, who can work flexibly in a pressurised and demanding environment with a range of stakeholders. You will have strong inter-personal relationship skills, and solid experience in project management, in social media and inclusive communications.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
