Programme Manager
It's the breadth of the role you’ll take on and it's delivering support at the heart of a world-famous institution. The office of HRH The Princess Royal consists of a small, flexible and busy team responsible for the management of The Princess Royal’s official programme, both in the UK and abroad. As Programme Manager you will provide full programme and administrative support, with specific responsibility for the arrangement and administration of Her Royal Highness's UK and overseas engagements. You will also assist with general enquiries and correspondence, as well as supporting the bi-annual planning of official programmes. Liaising with a wide range of internal and external contacts, you will plan and prepare weekly programmes, daily briefs and supporting documentation for engagements. You will undertake recces ahead of visits, mostly in the UK but occasionally overseas, and create supporting entries for the Court Circular. For each engagement you will organise all HRH’s travel arrangements to ensure the efficient delivery of programmes. Administrative work can be divided between the London office and remote working by ad hoc arrangement, but some elements of the role require the post-holder to work from the office. |
Educated to degree level or 3 years equivalent experience, you’ll be an excellent administrator with relevant experience in a similar role and will be looking to develop your skills within a truly unique environment.
You’ll have good IT skills and a meticulous eye for detail. Highly efficient and organised, you can prioritise a varied and busy workload, managing multiple engagements in a day.
With excellent written communication, you have good drafting skills, and are confident preparing varied correspondence and documents. You also need strong oral communication skills. Personable and professional, you’ll thrive when liaising with a diverse range of individuals and organisations effectively.
Having previously worked within a busy office environment, you will enjoy working within a small and dedicated team. Your proactive and adaptable approach will also enable you to work independently, showing initiative in fast moving situations.
And, above all, you know what it takes to support a programme that leaves a lasting and positive impression. This is your opportunity to help deliver the exceptional.
In return you will be rewarded with a comprehensive benefits package, including 33 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays) a 15% employer contribution pension scheme, with training and development, as well as a range of recreational facilities.
