An excellent development opportunity has arisen for a talented individual to join a small team of consultants in the UK as a Project Assistant for national, European and international projects.
This post offers a varied and interesting workload and the chance to develop key skills in a supportive and stimulating environment. 100% of all our recent interns have secured a job in their field immediately after doing their internship with us.
You will be responsible for providing administrative support for the various EU-funded projects undertaken by Inova Consultancy, covering areas such as entrepreneurship, business growth, social media, diversity and equal opportunities amongst many others.
The role of Project Assistant will involve supporting project activities such as practical research, evaluation, reporting, marketing and dissemination. You will be expected to assist in the preparation of project and financial reports for the Director and to help maintain the necessary documentation for audit requirements and funding bodies across all projects. You will be willing to attend and contribute to relevant events and meetings in various locations in the UK and in Europe.
