Entry-Level Project Coordinator

Entry-Level Project Coordinator (working towards becoming a Project Manager)

Duration: 6 months

Rate: £140.00 per day, paid via an umbrella service

Location: Newcastle (4 days on site initially)

We are seeking an Entry-Level Coordinator to join a large and well-established telecommunications organisation. This is a developmental position designed to progress into a Project Support, then Project Manager role over time. While prior project experience is beneficial, the most important qualities for this role are the right attitude, a proactive approach to work, and a willingness to learn and grow within a project environment.

This initial contract has the potential to transition into a permanent position, subject to performance and skills development. You should bring a positive work ethic and a desire to expand your knowledge and capabilities.
Candidates with customer-facing experience, such as those from Customer Service or Complaints Handling roles, who are looking to move into a project support environment are encouraged to apply. This role may also suit individuals seeking an apprenticeship-style opportunity or those wishing to enter the Telecoms/Technology sector from another industry.

A strong work ethic and a "can-do" mindset are more important than existing project support experience. Likewise, junior Project Managers looking to broaden their experience in an organisation with diverse roles and strong career progression opportunities may find this role a good match.
Please note: Security Clearance (SC) may be required for this role. Applicants must therefore have been UK residents for a minimum of five years.

Ideal Background and Experience:

• Interest in or aptitude for Project Support
• Issue and escalation helping type background
• Customer service experience
• Ability to work effectively with colleagues and senior stakeholders
• Strong desire to learn and develop within project support
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Ability to deliver work on time
• Demonstrates initiative and a self-starting attitude
• Problem-solving capability
• Positive, "can-do" mindset
• Experience organising tasks, activities, or events to achieve outcomes
• Suitable for individuals seeking an apprenticeship or early-career progression path
• Long-term interest in securing a permanent role with excellent prospects
• Willingness to support team members and contribute to shared goals
• Any project support or project management exposure is advantageous but not essential

This is a role where you will be working with others, gathering information, skills and experience.
A working apprenticeship type role.
There will be a good chance of converting to permanent should things progress as planned.
