1What this role really is

This isn't just an admin job; you're the engine room for our change projects. You'll be making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, helping the team get ready for big changes across our business.

It's a fantastic spot to learn how large organisations actually manage big shifts.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Communication ContentDraft content for review, using templates. No independent sending.Draft and send routine communications with manager's final approval. Propose messaging for specific audiences.Design and execute multi-channel communication plans. Own messaging strategy for a project, with leadership consultation.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Communications Delivery Rate
Making sure all scheduled communications (emails, intranet posts, meeting invites) are sent out on time.
Target · 98% on-time delivery

If there are 50 communications planned for a week, you'll need to make sure 49 of them go out exactly when they're supposed to. Missing one or two isn't the end of the world, but it's about consistency.

Survey Participation Rates
Helping to get a good number of responses on our readiness surveys.
Target · Achieve >70% response rate on surveys you help deploy

You send out a survey link to 100 people. We'd expect at least 70 of them to complete it. This might mean following up with a reminder or two.

Action Item Completion
Closing out your assigned tasks and action points from team meetings.
Target · 95% completion rate by agreed deadlines

If you're asked to draft a comms update by Friday, it needs to be ready for review by then. Missing deadlines means the whole project can slow down.

Adherence to Process & Templates
Following our established ways of working and using the templates we provide for communications, reports, and other documents.
  • Your drafted communications consistently use the correct tone of voice and branding. Your meeting notes are always in the standard format. You're not reinventing the wheel, but rather using the tools we've given you effectively.
Proactive Support & Learning
Looking for ways to help the team without being asked every time, and actively seeking to understand the 'why' behind tasks.
  • You'll ask 'Is there anything else I can help with?' once you've finished a task. You might spot a small error in a document and fix it before it's sent. You'll ask questions about the bigger picture of a project, not just your specific task, showing you're keen to learn.
Feedback Incorporation
Taking on board feedback from your manager and colleagues, and showing that you're learning and improving.
  • If your manager suggests a change to a communication draft, you'll apply that learning to the next one. You'll show a willingness to adapt your approach based on what you're told, rather than making the same mistake twice. It's all about growth.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning and Development

You'll actively ask questions about processes, volunteer for tasks that expose you to new areas, and spend time understanding the bigger picture of our projects. You're not just doing the work, you're learning from it.

After drafting a communication, you'll ask your manager why certain phrases were chosen or what the goal of that specific message was, showing genuine interest in the strategy behind it.

Making a Tangible Contribution

You'll get satisfaction from seeing your efforts directly support the team and help colleagues. When a communication you helped draft gets positive feedback, or a survey you deployed gets a great response rate, you'll feel proud of that impact.

You'll take pride in knowing that the perfectly organised training schedule you put together meant 500 people got the help they needed, on time and without a hitch.

Being Part of a Bigger Picture

You're motivated by contributing to large-scale business changes, even if your role is a supporting one. You'll enjoy the feeling of being part of a team that's shaping the future of the organisation.

You'll enjoy hearing about the overall project progress in team meetings, understanding how your administrative tasks contribute to the company's strategic goals.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing people for information or approvals, which can feel a bit like herding cats.
  • Working on tasks that feel a bit repetitive, like formatting documents or updating registers.
  • Having your carefully planned schedule disrupted by unexpected urgent requests.
  • Not always seeing the immediate, direct impact of every single task you complete.
What this role does not give you
  • Significant independent decision-making authority.
  • Leadership of large projects or teams (not yet, anyway).
  • A role purely focused on high-level strategy or complex analytics.
  • A completely predictable, unchanging daily routine.

6Who you work with

Your work, even at this level, directly helps the change team keep everyone on the same page. When you get the right information to the right person, it reduces confusion and helps people accept new ways of working. It's about making the transition less bumpy for everyone involved, which ultimately means our projects deliver their benefits faster and with less fuss.

Inside the business
  • Regional Change Readiness Managers (your direct team)
  • Project Managers (who own the overall transformation projects)
  • Internal Communications team (for getting messages out)
  • Learning & Development team (for training logistics)
  • Front-line employees (who'll be giving you feedback on surveys)
Outside the business
  • Software vendors (occasionally, for scheduling or basic info gathering)
  • External training providers (for logistical support)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A genuine interest in how businesses work and adapt to change.
  • Some experience in an office environment, even if it's just part-time or an internship, where you've had to organise tasks or communicate with colleagues.
  • Strong organisational skills – you're the person who keeps their notes tidy and remembers deadlines.
  • A 'can-do' attitude and a willingness to learn from others.
  • The ability to work effectively in a team and ask for help when you need it.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Intermediate Data Literacy & Visualisation

Change management is becoming more data-driven. We need to show the impact of our work with numbers. As you progress, you'll move beyond just pulling raw data to actually making sense of it and presenting it clearly.

Basic Data Cleaning · Simple Trend Analysis · Effective Chart Selection · Dashboard Interpretation

  • This month: Focus on becoming an Excel wizard – learn VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and basic formulas.
  • Month 2: Start exploring Power BI or Tableau tutorials online; try to recreate a simple dashboard from scratch with dummy data.
  • Month 3: Volunteer to help your manager with a data analysis task, even if it's just cleaning the data.
  • Month 4: Practice presenting a simple data set to your team, explaining what the numbers mean.

Quick win: Take an online Excel course on Udemy or LinkedIn Learning. It'll pay dividends almost immediately.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading industry blogs and articles on change management, transformation, and organisational psychology.
  • Attending internal webinars or workshops on new systems, processes, or communication techniques.
  • Seeking out mentorship from more experienced colleagues within the Business Transformation team.
  • Taking online courses on platforms like LinkedIn Learning or Coursera in areas like advanced Excel, communication skills, or introduction to project management.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Basic Prompt Engineering & AI Tool Use

AI is already here, and it's making tasks like drafting communications or summarising feedback much faster. People who know how to talk to AI effectively (prompt engineering) will be hugely more productive.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Change Readiness Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

Roles this leads to

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the admin work that keeps change programmes running can be a bit of a grind. But what if you could offload some of that to AI? That's exactly what we're doing here. We're building an AI Hub to take the tedious out of your day, freeing you up to learn and contribute more meaningfully.

You'll be working with tools that aren't just for senior folks. Even at an entry level, you can use AI to speed up your routine tasks, from drafting emails to summarising feedback. It's about working smarter, not harder, and getting comfortable with the tech that's changing how we all work.

Quick Draft Comms

Feed a few bullet points about a new process into an AI tool and get a perfectly structured, on-brand email draft in seconds. You'll still review and edit, of course, but it cuts out the blank page problem. Think of it as having an instant first draft for your manager to review.

Survey Summary Assistant

Imagine you've got hundreds of open-text comments from a readiness survey. Instead of reading every single one, you can use AI to quickly summarise key themes, identify common frustrations, or even spot positive feedback. It helps you get to the insights faster, ready for your manager.

Meeting Note Magic

After a team meeting, you can use AI to quickly turn raw notes into a structured summary, highlighting action items and key decisions. It means less time spent on transcription and more time making sure those actions actually happen.

Job Aid Generator

Got a new system update? You can feed the technical documentation into an AI and ask it to generate a simple, step-by-step 'how-to' guide or a short FAQ for our colleagues. It's a massive time-saver for creating user-friendly support materials.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Change Readiness Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 8 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Change Readiness Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll pick up in change readiness are highly transferable. Every large organisation, regardless of sector (finance, tech, retail, healthcare), goes through transformations. This means you'll have excellent mobility if you ever decide to explore opportunities outside of our company or industry.
