Project Coordinator

Are you passionate about supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same? If so, we want to hear from you!

About Us

We are an award-winning organization providing cutting-edge business and finance support for startups and growing SMEs in both public and private sectors. Our expertise has driven real results for clients, and we're proud to champion equality and diversity across everything we do. Having recently won our second Queen's Award for Enterprise, we're excited to expand our impact in the West of England through two Bristol-based projects.

Overview of Role:

This Project Coordinator role will be working across two Bristol based projects,

• BrisBES - A project funded by Bristol City Council which will support entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow. We will deliver business coaching, advice, grants and workshops and manage a large number of community partners to make sure that we deliver our expertise in the regions where it is needed the most.
• Grow Your Own (GYO) project based out of St Nicholas' Market . Our role in this project is to provide business support from the hub at the market and support help entrepreneurs to set up their organisations and make use of the facilities.

Both projects have outputs around intensity of business support (number of hours delivered), social value (low carbon plans), and jobs and businesses created.

The Project Coordinator will be expected to monitor project progress and KPIs and attend networking events to promote the project offerings. The Project Coordinator will also be responsible for collating project specific evidence and managing the monthly claim submissions.
