**Job summary**:
The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is responsible for safeguarding our natural environment, supporting our world-leading food and farming industry and sustaining a thriving rural economy. Our broad remit means we play a major role in people’s day-to-day life, from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to the water we drink.

Everyone who works with us or in one of our agencies and public bodies has a part to play in achieving our vision of ‘creating a great place for people to live’. The work we do impacts the lives of everyone living in the UK.

**About Defra’s Northern Ireland Programme**

The Northern Ireland Directorate is working to deliver the requirements of the Windsor Framework. The Windsor Framework is the agreement reached between the EU and the UK to avoid a hard border with Ireland; while ensuring the UK, including Northern Ireland, leaves the EU as a whole, enabling the entire UK to benefit from future Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The Framework replaces the previous Northern Ireland Protocol.

For Defra, implementation requires changes in relation to the movement of agrifood and involves extensive delivery with the equivalent Northern Ireland department - DAERA, and other government departments. Your role will be critically important to managing risks associated with delivering to the Windsor framework timelines, and upholding agreements made with the EU, and international legal obligations. This is a particularly exciting and high-profile area of work, made up a number of major delivery projects.

You will play an active role in shaping and delivering the Defra group’s priorities, informing decision making, and working creatively and collaboratively with others to deliver excellent outcomes.

DEFRA are looking for enthusiastic and confident individuals to lead on key elements that will enable the successful delivery of various projects within the Northern Ireland Programme.

**Job description**:
The role of the Project Support Officer covers a diverse range of activities to support the delivery of the project’s objectives. The Project Support Officer enables the smooth running of the project by supporting the project manager through the operation of project management processes, and the co-ordination of business management actions and activities on their behalf.

**The role responsibilities will include**:

- ** Planning and scheduling** - Ensure systems are in place to enable effective planning and scheduling
- ** Monitoring and reporting** - Manage project controls, reporting to the Project Manager about the project status. Develop project performance reports
- ** Admin **- Ensure organisational tasks are carried out efficiently. Manage compliance of the project with Departmental Security, Health and Safety, Equality and Diversity, Business Continuity and Business Planning
- ** Resources **- Lead a team responsible for identifying, developing and deploying resources. Manage workforce planning, providing information for effective decision making to the Project Manager. Procurement of supplies and services related to project support within Delegated Financial Authority limits
- ** Stakeholder **- Manage and engage with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. Draft and sign-off correspondence
- ** Financial control** - Manage project spend and contribute to the compilation of budgets. Contribute to the project business case
- ** Risks and issues** - Lead potential risk areas, working with risk manager and escalating as appropriate

We can only achieve our purpose through the skill, dedication, and professionalism of our people. You deserve to feel valued, rewarded and connected to the work you do - so through our People Strategy, we’re committed to making DEFRA an inclusive environment that engages, motivates, and ensures a better place to work for everyone.

**Person specification**:
**Essential criteria**:

- ** Credible Action / Conflict resolution** - The ability to promote the wider public good in all actions and to act in a morally, legally and socially appropriate manner. Challenging unacceptable behaviour and the ability to recognise, anticipate and effectively deal with existing or pote
