Job description

Are you a detail-oriented and experienced administrator, interested in playing a key role in supporting international development projects?

About the role

We are looking for a Project Assistant to provide administrative support across two teams at Landell Mills. You will help manage day-to-day project tasks, including logistics, reporting, and maintaining documentation. The role also involves supporting business development, contributing to proposals, and coordinating with internal teams, partners and clients.

About us

Landell Mills is an international consultancy that helps countries achieve their Sustainable Development Goals. With nearly 50 years of experience, we work around the world on a wide range of projects for both public and private clients, some lasting just a few days, others several years.

We have fifty staff based in offices in the UK (Trowbridge and Bristol) and Ireland (Dublin) and operate from a small number of subsidiary, branch and project offices in Belgium, Africa and Asia.

About you

As a Project Assistant at Landell Mills, you will be organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks in a busy environment. Strong communication skills and a proactive, team-focused approach are essential. Experience in admin for professional services, the financial sector, and the recruitment sector is very welcome. We only accept applications from candidates who currently hold the right to work in the UK.

What we offer

• A full-time position (36.25 hours per week) within a company with highly developed expertise and experience.
• A competitive salary – commensurate with experience.
• A matched workplace pension scheme.
• 24 days of holiday per year, exclusive of public holiday entitlement, rising with years of service.
• Enhanced family leave entitlements.

Non-contractual benefits include: flexible working provisions, an annual performance related bonus scheme, personal travel insurance, a holiday buy and sell scheme, and access to a health advice service for you and your immediate family members, including online private GP consultations.

Where you will work

The position will be based in the UK (Trowbridge, Wiltshire or Bristol). We operate a hybrid work from home/office culture, but we would expect the successful candidate to have considerable day-to-day in person contact with the AFN and EWD Divisions.

How to apply

Please submit your CV and accompanying cover letter explaining why you wish to be considered for this position via our website. The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday 22 June. We would encourage applicants to apply early, as shortlisting will be a continuous process whilst the vacancy is open.
