3What this role really is

Junior business change support helps change initiatives run smoothly, handling the practical work behind the scenes.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Microsoft Power BI Intermediate

You'll be consuming pre-built dashboards to understand project progress or adoption metrics. You might pull a simple report from an existing template, but you won't be building complex models from scratch.

Qualtrics Intermediate

You'll help deploy surveys using established templates, manage distribution lists for feedback, and export raw data for further analysis in Excel. You won't be designing complex survey logic yet.

Asana (or similar PM tool like Monday.com) Intermediate

You'll manage your personal tasks, update progress on team projects, and follow established project structures. This is where you'll keep track of your 'to-do' list and deadlines.

Confluence Basic

You'll create and edit pages for project documentation, organise content within existing spaces, and respond to comments. It's our central knowledge hub, and you'll be a regular user.

WalkMe (or similar Digital Adoption Platform) Basic

You'll use the editor to create simple SmartTips or ShoutOuts to guide users through new systems. You'll also monitor basic analytics to see if existing guided flows are working.

Microsoft Excel Advanced

You'll be using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, complex PivotTables, conditional formatting, and data validation for various tasks like managing attendee lists, collating survey data, or tracking communication schedules. You're comfortable with data manipulation.

Miro (or similar digital whiteboard) Intermediate

You'll participate in digital whiteboarding sessions, helping to capture ideas, create basic frames, and use sticky notes effectively during workshops or brainstorming sessions.

5What 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 in Where you are nowThe step above
Communication Content & Approval Draft content using templates, seek approval from manager for all external/wide internal comms. Escalate any conflicting feedback. Draft and review routine communications, seek approval for strategic messages. Can approve minor internal updates. Develop and approve communication strategies and key messages for workstreams. Consult Director on enterprise-wide comms.
Training Logistics & Scheduling Book rooms, manage invites, prepare materials as instructed. Escalate any scheduling conflicts or resource issues. Independently manage logistics for multiple training streams. Can make minor scheduling adjustments within guidelines. Design the overall training schedule and resource plan for a project. Approve external vendor training contracts up to £5K.
Project Documentation Updates Update stakeholder registers, action logs, meeting minutes based on input. Escalate any unclear information. Maintain and audit project documentation. Can propose improvements to documentation standards. Define documentation standards and templates for a project or workstream. Ensure audit readiness.
Problem Solving (Operational) Identify basic issues (e.g., a broken link in a draft email) and fix them if simple, otherwise escalate to manager. Troubleshoot common operational issues (e.g., survey distribution errors) and implement solutions within guidelines. Solve complex operational problems, often involving multiple teams. Make recommendations for process improvements.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Communication Draft Delivery
Percentage of communication drafts (emails, intranet posts, FAQs) submitted to your manager by agreed deadlines.
Target · 95%+ on time

If you're asked to draft 10 comms pieces in a month, and 9 are ready by the deadline, that's 90%. We're aiming for near-perfect here because others depend on your output.

Training Session Logistics Accuracy
Error rate in scheduling, room bookings, material preparation, and attendee lists for training sessions you've supported.
Target · <2% error rate

If you organise 5 training sessions and one has the wrong room booked, that's a 20% error rate. We're looking for precision here – a small mistake can waste a lot of people's time.

Documentation Completeness & Accuracy
Ensuring all assigned project documentation (e.g., stakeholder registers, meeting notes, action logs) are up-to-date and accurate.
Target · 100% completeness, <1% error rate

Your manager reviews the stakeholder register you maintain. If it's missing 2 out of 50 contacts or has an outdated email, that's an error. We need this to be spot on.

Feedback Loop Support
Timeliness and accuracy in collating feedback from surveys or workshops for review by the team.
Target · 90% of feedback collated within 24 hours of receipt

After a workshop, you're given 50 sticky notes of feedback. Getting them typed up and categorised for the team to analyse within a day counts towards this. It's about helping the team react quickly.

Proactive Learning & Initiative
Actively seeking to understand change methodologies and project context, asking thoughtful questions, and suggesting improvements for your own tasks.
  • You'll ask 'why are we doing it this way?' or 'is there a template for this?' You might suggest a better way to organise a shared drive. Your manager won't have to chase you for updates
  • you'll offer them. You'll show curiosity about the bigger picture, not just your immediate task.
Team Collaboration & Support
Your willingness to help out colleagues, contribute positively to team meetings, and respond promptly to internal requests.
  • Colleagues will say you're easy to work with and reliable. You'll offer to help when someone's swamped (within reason, of course). You'll contribute ideas in team stand-ups, even if they're just about improving a process. You're a good team player, not just someone who does their own thing.
Adaptability & Problem Solving (under guidance)
Your ability to adjust when plans change (which they will!) and to flag potential issues or suggest simple solutions to your manager.
  • When a deadline shifts, you'll adjust your plan without fuss and let your manager know how it impacts your work. If you spot a potential clash in the training schedule, you'll flag it early. You won't just wait for instructions
  • you'll think about what might go wrong and speak up.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference

You'll get a kick out of seeing your drafted email go out to thousands of colleagues, or knowing the training materials you helped prepare made a session run smoothly. You'll see the direct impact of your support on people's ability to adapt to new ways of working.

Helping to organise a 'go-live' event and seeing people successfully use a new system because of the support you helped coordinate.

Learning & Growth

You're keen to soak up knowledge from experienced change practitioners, understanding how complex projects are managed and how to influence people. Every day is a chance to learn something new about change management methodologies or organisational dynamics.

Attending a workshop and then being able to apply a new concept like 'WIIFM' when drafting communications.

Being Part of a Team

You enjoy the camaraderie of working closely with a project team, contributing to a shared goal, and celebrating successes together. You're happy to roll up your sleeves and help wherever needed.

Working with the training lead to ensure all materials are printed and ready for a big launch, feeling the buzz of collective effort.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with last-minute changes to communication plans or training schedules.
  • Having to chase people for information or approvals to keep things moving.
  • Getting caught in the middle of conflicting opinions from different stakeholders.
  • Feeling like your work is 'just admin' sometimes, even though it's crucial.
  • The emotional labour of dealing with resistance and negativity from colleagues.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making or budget ownership (that comes later).
  • Complete autonomy over your work – you'll be guided and supported.
  • A quiet, predictable routine; expect some unexpected 'urgent' tasks.
  • The ability to single-handedly 'fix' organisational resistance.

8Who you work with

This role directly supports the smooth execution of change initiatives, ensuring that employees are informed and prepared. It helps reduce disruption and speeds up the adoption of new ways of working, ultimately contributing to project success and business benefits. If this support isn't there, the change team gets bogged down in admin, and the quality of communications and training suffers, making the whole process much harder for everyone.

Inside the business
  • Project Managers (for specific change initiatives)
  • Business Analysts (to understand requirements)
  • Internal Communications team (for message alignment)
  • Learning & Development team (for training logistics)
  • Frontline teams (as recipients of change)
Outside the business
  • Vendors (for software or training materials, under supervision)
  • Consultants (supporting larger programmes, under supervision)

9What you need before you start

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

  • Strong foundational skills in written and verbal communication (English).
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively, perhaps from previous work experience, university projects, or volunteer roles.
  • Intermediate to Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUP, PivotTables are a must).
  • A genuine interest in how businesses operate and adapt to change.
  • The ability to work effectively in a team environment and take direction well.

10What to practise next

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

Intermediate Data Visualisation (Power BI)

As projects get more complex, simply pulling data isn't enough. You'll need to start building simple visualisations to make data easier for stakeholders to understand. Being able to quickly mock up a chart showing adoption trends or survey results will be invaluable.

Dashboard Design Principles · Basic DAX for Custom Measures · Connecting to Simple Data Sources · Interactivity & Filtering

  • This week: Explore existing Power BI dashboards more deeply, trying out different filters and visualisations.
  • This month: Complete an online tutorial on basic Power BI report building, focusing on connecting data and creating simple charts.
  • Month 2: Try to recreate a simple chart from an Excel spreadsheet in Power BI.
  • Month 3: Propose a new, simple visualisation for a project metric to your manager.

Quick win: Take a dataset you're already working with in Excel and try to build a very basic bar chart or pie chart in Power BI. It's about getting comfortable with the interface.

Workflow Automation Basics (Asana Rules / Power Automate)

Many administrative tasks in change management are repetitive. Learning how to automate simple workflows will save you and the team time, reduce errors, and allow you to focus on more strategic work. It's about making our processes more efficient.

If-Then Logic · Task Assignment & Notifications · Form Submission Automation

  • This week: Explore the 'Rules' or 'Automations' section in Asana (or your team's PM tool).
  • This month: Try to set up one simple automation, like automatically assigning a follow-up task when a previous task is marked complete.
  • Month 2: Look for a repetitive task you do weekly and try to automate a small part of it using a simple rule.
  • Month 3: Share your automation with the team and show them how it saves time.

Quick win: Set up a rule in Asana to automatically move a task to 'Review' when you mark it as 'Complete'. It's a small step, but it gets you thinking about automation.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Shadowing experienced Business Change Practitioners and Project Managers to understand their daily work.
  • Taking online courses on communication skills, time management, or specific software tools (e.g., LinkedIn Learning, Udemy).
  • Participating in internal lunch-and-learn sessions or workshops on change management topics.
  • Seeking feedback regularly from your manager and peers, and actively working on areas for improvement.
  • Volunteering for small, internal projects that allow you to practice new skills in a low-risk environment.

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 Junior Business Change Support is actually changing.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of change support work involves repetitive tasks, drafting, and sifting through information. AI isn't here to replace you, but it's definitely here to give you a serious leg up. Imagine getting through your admin faster, so you can spend more time learning the really interesting stuff.

We're always looking for ways to work smarter, not just harder. Our AI Productivity Hub is packed with tools and guides specifically for roles like yours. You'll learn how to use AI to tackle the more tedious parts of your job, freeing you up to contribute more meaningfully and develop your skills faster. Think of it as having a super-efficient assistant at your fingertips.

Comms Draft Generator

Use tools like ChatGPT or similar to get a solid first draft of emails, FAQs, or intranet posts. Just give it the key points and your company's tone of voice, and it'll whip up something you can quickly edit. No more staring at a blank page!

Meeting Note Summariser

Ever sit through a long meeting and then dread writing up the minutes? Feed the transcript (if recorded) or your rough notes into an AI summariser. It'll pull out key decisions, action points, and owners, saving you loads of time on admin.

Information Finder & Explainer

Got a complex project document or a new methodology to understand? Use AI to quickly summarise long texts, extract key concepts, or even explain jargon in simpler terms. It’s like having a super-fast research assistant.

Basic Data Organiser

While you won't be building complex models, AI can help you clean up messy data in spreadsheets. It can spot inconsistencies, suggest formatting, or even categorise open-text feedback, making your data collation much quicker.
