About the job

Job summary

The mission of the Circular Economy is to maximise and preserve the value of the Earths resources for society, the environment, and the economy by ending the throwaway model and accelerating the transition to a circular economy. This supports sustainable economic growth by stimulating investment and innovation, strengthening trade, and reducing the cost of living, while ensuring resources are used efficiently and responsibly.

Delivery of this mission is focused on five priority areas: reforming plastics and packaging to reduce waste and improve recyclability; driving circular economy growth across key sectors including agrifood, textiles, batteries, transport, and electricals; improving waste and recycling infrastructure and performance through simpler, more effective systems; tackling waste crime, litter, and fly-tipping through stronger enforcement and digital waste tracking; and supporting circular cities and investment to enable place-based action and long-term economic and environmental value.

As a Project Support Officer, you will support the delivery of these priorities by translating strategic policy objectives into effective programmes and projects. You will plan, coordinate, and manage delivery across multiple workstreams, providing clear governance, strong stakeholder engagement, and proactive management of risks, dependencies, and change. Through disciplined project control and clear communication, you will help ensure reforms are delivered on time, to a high standard, and in a way that maximises environmental, economic, and societal value.

Job description

The PSO will be responsible for:

Planning and scheduling: Implement and maintain systems for effective planning and scheduling.
Monitoring and Reporting: Establishes and maintains project controls, keeping the project manager informed of the project status. Prepares project performance reports, presents statistics, and researches new information.
Admin: Ensure organisational tasks are completed efficiently. Manage and monitor project compliance with departmental policies and procedures.
Resources: Leads a team responsible for identifying, developing, and deploying resources. Manages workforce planning and provides information for the project manager's decision-making. Procures supplies and services related to project support within delegated financial authority limits.
Stakeholder Management: Manages professional relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, and serves as the lead contact for some external parties.
Financial Control: Monitors project spending and assists in compiling budgets and developing the business case. Ensures an accurate asset register is maintained.
Risks and issues: Manages potential risk areas, working with risk managers and escalating issues when necessary.
Digital and data: Collects and shares data in line with data standards. Uses data analytics and digital tools to compile and present project information that aids in monitoring progress and identifying potential issues.

Sift and interview dates to be confirmed.

Location

As part of the pre-employment process for this post, successful candidate(s) will be able to agree a contractual workplace from those locations listed in this advert.

The agreed contractual workplace is then the substantive and permanent place of work for the successful candidate(s).

Where the location is National the successful appointee should discuss and agree an appropriate contractual location in line with both Defras location policy and site capacity, prior to proceeding with pre-employment processes.

The agreed amount of time spent at a workplace for this post will reflect the requirement for Civil Servants to spend at least 60% of their working time in an organisation workplace with the option to work the remaining time flexibly from home. Working time spent at a workplace may include time spent at other organisational locations including field-based operational locations, together with supplier, customer or partner locations. This is a non-contractual agreement which is consistent with common Civil Service expectations.

Travel costs to non-contractual workplaces will be subject to departmental travel and subsistence policies. Travel costs to contractual workplaces are the responsibility of the employee.

The successful candidate is required to carry out all their duties from a UK location, and cannot do so from an overseas location at any time.

Salary

New entrants to the Civil Service are expected to start on the minimum of the pay band. The internal roles rules apply to existing Civil Servants, i.e. level transfers move on current salary or the pay range minimum, transfers on promotion move to new pay range minimum or receive 10% increase. Either case is determined by whichever is the highest.

Reserve List

A reserve list may be held for a period of 12 months from which further appointments can be made.

Any move to DEFRA from another employer will mean you can no longer access childcare vouchers. This includes moves between government departments. You may however be eligible for other government schemes, including Tax Free Childcare; for further information visit the Childcare Choices website.

Reasonable Adjustment

If a person with disabilities is put at a substantial disadvantage compared to a non-disabled person, we have a duty to make reasonable changes to our processes.

If you need a change to be made so that you can make your application, you should:

Contact Government Recruitment Service via [email protected] as soon as possible before the closing date to discuss your needs.

Complete the Assistance required section in the Additional requirements page of your application form to tell us what changes or help you might need further on in the recruitment process. For instance, you may need wheelchair access at interview, or if youre deaf, a Language Service Professional.

Accessibility

If you are experiencing accessibility problems with any attachments on this advert, please contact the email address in the 'Contact point for applicants' section.

Visa Sponsorship Statement

Please take note that Defra does not hold a UK Visa & Immigration (UKVI) Skilled Worker License sponsor and are unable to sponsor any individuals for Skilled Worker Sponsorship.

Near Miss

Candidates who are judged to be a near miss at interview may be considered for other positions in Defra which may be at a lower grade, but have a potential skills match.

Merit Lists

Where more than one location is advertised, candidates will be appointed in merit order for each location. You will be asked to state your location preference on your application.

Criminal Record Check

If successful and transferring from another Government Department a criminal record check may be carried out.

In order to process applications without delay, we will be sending a Criminal Record Check to Disclosure and Barring Service on your behalf.

However, we recognise in exceptional circumstances some candidates will want to send their completed forms direct. If you will be doing this, please advise Government Recruitment Service of your intention by emailing [email protected] stating the job reference number in the subject heading.

Internal Fraud Database Check

Applicants who are successful at interview will be, as part of pre-employment screening, subject to a check on the Internal Fraud Database (IFD). This check will provide information about employees who have been dismissed for fraud or dishonesty offences. This check also applies to employees who resign or otherwise leave before being dismissed for fraud or dishonesty had their employment continued. Any applicants details held on the IFD will be refused employment.

A candidate is not eligible to apply for a role within the Civil Service if the application is made within a 5 year period following a dismissal for carrying out internal fraud against government.

Security Clearance

All of these posts require the successful candidate to hold basic security clearance. Candidates posted to London may be subject to a higher level of clearance because of the security requirements for that location. Job offers to these posts are made on the basis of merit. Security vetting will only take place after the receipt of a job offer.

For further information on National Security Vetting please visit the Demystifying Vetting website.

Please be aware the levels of national security clearance are changing which may impact on the level needed for this role by the time of appointment. All efforts will be made to keep candidates informed of any changes and what that will mean in terms of vetting criteria. For more information please See our vetting charter
