About The Role Are you someone who thrives in a structured, organised environment and enjoys helping teams deliver impactful projects? If so, this could be your next opportunity. This is an exciting time to join our team on a 6-month fixed term contract, as we relaunch the PMO and strengthen the way we deliver strategic initiatives across Guide Dogs. As our new PMO Support Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in empowering people with sight loss by supporting the delivery of projects aligned with our long-term goals. You’ll help ensure these projects are executed efficiently, adhering to PMO standards and best practices. Working within the Office of the CEO, you’ll coordinate project schedules, arrange and support meetings, and keep documentation clear and up to date. You’ll also assist in collating and reporting key project information, supporting communication between teams and stakeholders. In addition, you’ll contribute to governance, compliance and continuous improvement in how we manage and deliver projects. We’re looking for someone with a solid grounding in project management practices—whether that’s through formal training like Prince2 or Agile, or hands-on experience in similar roles. You’ll need to be detail-focused, proactive and a great communicator who’s comfortable managing competing priorities. Experience using tools like Microsoft Project or JIRA will be an advantage, as will your passion for the social impact of our work. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced but supportive environment, where you’ll be encouraged to bring your ideas forward and be part of something that truly changes lives. About Us No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people. We value in-person collaboration with our teams and those we support, so the ability to travel to our sites is needed for this role. We support hybrid working arrangements, so you have flexibility to work in a way that’s best for you. This role will be based on site at our Reading office. You’ll be working 35 hours per week, worked 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. About Us Further details on the full role are attached below.
