Project Administrator (TVPD) - Maternity Cover

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Association of Colleges (AoC) as a Project Administrator (Maternity Cover) within our new Technical and Vocational Professional Development (TVPD) programme.

The TVPD programme is an externally funded programme delivered by AoC on behalf of the Department for Education. It supports the further education sector with technical and vocational professional development, including activity linked to TVE Hubs, provider engagement, regional networks, employer collaboration and evidence-informed practice.

This is a key administrative role supporting the effective delivery of a high-profile national programme. Working as part of a collaborative programme team, you will provide proactive administrative and operational support across a range of project activities, helping to ensure that delivery is well organised, efficient and responsive to programme priorities.

As Project Administrator, you will coordinate programme meetings and events, prepare agendas and papers, record actions and minutes, maintain programme schedules and trackers, and support reporting and assurance process. You will also arrange travel and accommodation, assist with document preparation and formatting, and help ensure resources are produced to a high standard and in line with programme branding.

You will support the maintenance of programme content across digital platforms and provide administrative and technical support for online meetings, networks and collaborative activities. Acting as a first point of contact for routine programme queries, you will help ensure timely communication and effective coordination across the programme team and wider stakeholder network.

We are looking for someone with experience working in a busy administrative environment who is highly organised, proactive and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. You will have excellent attention to detail,



strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team environment.

You will be a confident communicator with strong written and verbal communication skills, capable of working effectively with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels. Experience using CRM systems and databases, alongside strong Microsoft Office skills will be essential.

The successful candidate will demonstrate initiative, a commitment to high-quality service and an interest in further education. A commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and to the values and mission of AoC and the further education sector, is also important.

This is a full-time, fixed-term maternity cover role until May 2027.

The role is hybrid and will operate from a home base with occasional travel to attend external and internal meetings and events where required.

At AoC, we value trust, flexibility and professional growth. You will join a high-performing, mission-led organisation that offers generous benefits, adaptable working, and opportunities to develop your career while making a positive impact on the further education community.
