We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Support Officer, working alongside our Management Information Systems and Performance team supporting the Multiply project. Multiply is a new government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills.

You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place.

Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:
