Are you driven by equity and inclusion? Do you want to be part of shaping meaningful change in organisational culture and systems?

REED Technology are working with a client who are seeking a passionate and organised Project Officer (Racial Justice Action) to help deliver a strategic plan focused on racial justice and equity. This is a newly created role with a powerful mandate: to turn ambition into action, and recommendations into lived change.

As Project Officer, you’ll support the delivery of a multi-strand Racial Justice Action Plan. You’ll work closely with colleagues across departments, support governance processes, and ensure progress is informed by robust data and accountability measures. From current-state mapping (“as is”) to designing future-state solutions (“to be”), this role will help embed anti-racism and inclusion across structures, systems and culture.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate the development and implementation of a racial justice action plan aligned with national and local recommendations.
• Gather, analyse, and report on data to inform decision-making and track progress.
• Work with key stakeholders to map existing processes and co-design more inclusive systems.
• Support effective governance, reporting and evaluation processes.
• Build relationships across departments and external partners to enable action, influence change, and maintain momentum.
• Provide project coordination support, including documentation, minutes, planning and monitoring.

Skills and Experience

• Proven experience managing or supporting complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
• Strong planning, organisational, and time-management skills.
• Confidence in working with data – both qualitative and quantitative – to inform decision-making.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write reports and influence others.
• Commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, with a particular interest in racial justice.
• A collaborative approach, self-motivation, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a wider team.

Desirable but not essential:

• Knowledge of EDI practices, Equalities legislation or HR/organisational development.
• An understanding of change processes in faith, voluntary or mission-driven sectors.

Benefits

• Flexible working arrangements
• Generous employer pension contribution (non-contributory)
• 25 days annual leave plus public holidays
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Supportive, inclusive organisational culture
