Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Project Support Officer**:
**Are you interested in working on a project aimed at improving the long-term development and life chances of children born into disadvantaged communities? Do you have experience supporting busy research projects?**

We are looking for a highly self-motivated and flexible individual with a positive approach to work on the ‘First 1000 Days, Yorkshire’ project, a transformational programme of work to improve the long-term development and life chances of children born into some of Britain’s most disadvantaged communities. Funded by a substantial donation from an individual donor, the project will harness expertise from research groups across the University and work with a range of regional and international partners. This programme has differing workstreams that represent a holistic approach to the crucial first 1000 days of a child’s life. The aim for these workstreams, is to develop an overarching intervention that may influence and inform national policy, especially around how supporting early parenting can impact language and cognitive development, healthy behaviours, and support the flourishing of disabled children. Demonstrating the value of the intervention will be critical to the long-term impact of this work.

Your primary role will be to expedite the administration and coordination of the research project, working closely with the project’s Senior Project Manager (Dr Shirley-Anne Paul). You will need strong administrative and communication skills, the ability to complete tasks quickly and to a high standard, and to have an organised and flexible approach to work.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days (pro rata) that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team, and self-development courses including languages, Creative Writing, Wellbeing Therapies and much more.
