About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic project team driving a significant technological transformation prompted by the PTSN Switch Off. The project, already underway, aims to implement digital solutions to replace existing analogue lines throughout Haringey’s corporate estate. We are seeking a highly organised and analytical Project Officer to play a key role in coordinating the switch-over, ensuring continuity of services, and maintaining clear communication with stakeholders. If you’re motivated to support a seamless and successful transition to digital infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.

About the team

You will be working with a small, dynamic and highly skilled team, who are dedicated to delivering excellence.  The team has a very strong work ethic and collaborative approach to their work and have created an open, friendly and supportive team culture.

About you

We are seeking an experienced Project Officer who thrives in high-pressure environments and embraces the challenges that come with delivering a project of this scale. The ideal candidate will possess strong stakeholder engagement abilities, working confidently with colleagues, external partners, and suppliers. Exceptional coordination skills are essential, particularly in managing and tracking both internal and external resources to ensure timely progress. You’ll bring expertise in data analysis and cost assessment to evaluate financial impacts and drive efficiency. Proactive problem-solving is crucial, with the ability to anticipate obstacles and support the implementation of effective solutions. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel is required, using spreadsheets to monitor project progress, manage budgets, and generate reports. You should also have data visualisation skills to present complex information clearly, aiding strategic decision-making, and be comfortable delivering presentations to a range of audiences.
