1What this role really is

You'll be the backbone of our change projects, handling all the crucial, day-to-day coordination and administrative tasks that keep everything running smoothly. Think of yourself as the reliable pair of hands making sure the 'i's are dotted and 't's are crossed for our change initiatives.

2What you'd actually use

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

Microsoft SharePoint & TeamsIntermediate

Navigating project sites, managing file permissions (with guidance), posting announcements, and co-authoring documents. You'll mostly follow existing information architecture.

Microsoft ExcelIntermediate

Using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, PivotTables for basic data sorting, conditional formatting, and creating simple charts. You'll often clean and format data from exports.

Microsoft PowerPointIntermediate

Populating and formatting slides using established corporate templates. You'll manage slide masters and basic animations to ensure presentations look professional.

Asana / MS PlannerIntermediate

Updating tasks, tracking progress on your assigned workstreams, and using basic board/list views to keep tabs on what needs doing.

Miro / MuralBasic

Participating in digital whiteboarding sessions, adding sticky notes, and navigating existing frames during workshops. You won't be designing complex boards yet.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkeyBasic

Deploying existing surveys, exporting raw data, and performing basic filtering of results as requested by a Change Analyst.

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 choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Scheduling a key stakeholder meeting	Propose times and send invites based on clear instructions from a Senior Change Analyst; escalate if there are significant conflicts.	Independently coordinate schedules with key stakeholders, proposing solutions for conflicts, and informing the project lead of the confirmed time.	Decide on the optimal timing and format for critical stakeholder meetings, considering project timelines and political sensitivities, then delegate coordination.
Drafting an internal communication	Populate pre-approved templates with specific details (dates, times, links) under direct supervision.	Draft initial versions of standard communications (e.g., FAQs, project updates) based on a brief, seeking review from a Senior Change Analyst.	Develop the core messaging and narrative for significant internal communications, ensuring alignment with overall change strategy, then review drafts from junior team members.
Identifying and addressing a logistical issue (e.g., room booking error)	Immediately escalate the issue to your Senior Change Analyst and await instructions on how to proceed.	Identify the issue, propose 2-3 potential solutions (e.g., alternative rooms, rescheduling), and recommend a course of action to your manager.	Independently resolve most logistical issues, only escalating if there's a significant impact on project timelines or budget, and inform relevant stakeholders.

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.

Task Completion Rate

The percentage of assigned administrative and logistical tasks completed within the agreed timeframe.

Target · 95% of tasks completed on schedule

If you're given 20 tasks for the week (e.g., scheduling 10 meetings, formatting 5 documents, sending 5 emails), you'd aim to complete 19 of them on time.

Accuracy of Information

The number of errors found in documents, schedules, or stakeholder lists that you've prepared or updated.

Target · Fewer than 2 minor errors per month (e.g., typos, incorrect dates)

You've compiled a list of 100 'Change Champions' and only one email address is wrong, or a meeting invite has the wrong room number once a month. We're aiming for near-perfection here.

Logistical Success Rate

How often meetings, workshops, or training sessions you've organised run without a hitch due to your coordination.

Target · 90% of organised events run smoothly (no room booking issues, tech problems, or missing materials)

You book a room for a workshop, and the projector works, the flipcharts are there, and everyone got the calendar invite with the correct link. That's a success.

Team Support & Responsiveness

How effectively you support the Change Analysts and Project Managers, and how quickly you respond to their requests.

Your team consistently says you're a 'safe pair of hands' and 'always there to help'. You respond to emails within a couple of hours, even if it's just to say you've seen it and will get to it. You anticipate needs, like asking if a room needs catering before being prompted.

Adherence to Process & Guidelines

Your ability to follow established procedures for document formatting, communication templates, and data entry.

Your documents always use the correct corporate template. You don't deviate from the 'comms cascade' process. You ask clarifying questions rather than guessing when a process isn't clear, showing you care about doing it right.

Learning & Development Engagement

Your proactive approach to learning about change management methodologies and internal processes.

You ask thoughtful questions during team meetings about 'WIIFM' or 'Change Saturation'. You've completed recommended internal training modules without being chased. You show genuine curiosity about 'why' we do things a certain way, not just 'how'.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Bringing Order to Chaos

You'll get a real kick out of taking a messy brief or a jumbled set of notes and turning it into a perfectly formatted, clear document. Organising schedules and ensuring all logistics are in place will feel genuinely satisfying.

Successfully coordinating a complex training schedule across multiple departments, making sure every participant gets the right invite and materials, and seeing it run without a single hitch.

Being a Trusted Support

You'll thrive on being the person your team can rely on. Knowing that your meticulous work allows others to focus on bigger strategic challenges will be a strong driver for you. You like being the 'go-to' for getting things done.

A Change Analyst tells you, 'I knew I could count on you to get that presentation ready for the Steering Committee – it looked perfect!' That recognition will mean a lot.

Learning How Change Actually Works

You're genuinely curious about the mechanics of large-scale change. Even in a support role, you'll be absorbing how communications are planned, how resistance is managed, and the different models we use. You'll be asking 'why' a lot.

Sitting in on a 'Change Impact Assessment' meeting and understanding how the 'As-Is vs. To-Be' framework helps identify who is affected and how, even if you're just taking notes.

What frustrates people

Being the 'Project Nag': Constantly reminding people higher up the chain about their overdue actions.
The 'Glamour vs. Grunt Work' divide: Doing the essential but often unrecognised administrative heavy lifting.
Caught in the Crossfire: Being the face of the project to frustrated employees, even though you don't make the decisions.
The Ever-Moving Goalposts: Project scopes and timelines *will* change, meaning you'll painstakingly update dozens of documents and schedules.
Authority Mismatch: Being tasked with holding people accountable for deadlines who are several levels above you, which can be awkward.

What this role does not give you

High-level strategic decision-making (not yet, anyway).
The ability to unilaterally change project scope or direction.
Constant, direct client-facing interaction (mostly internal support).
A quiet, predictable routine with no urgent, last-minute requests.

6Who you work with

This role directly supports the smooth execution of internal change projects across the organisation. Your work ensures that critical communications reach the right people, training sessions are properly organised, and project teams have the administrative support they need to focus on strategic tasks. Frankly, without this role, our change initiatives would quickly get bogged down in logistics and paperwork, slowing everything down and frustrating everyone involved.

Inside the business

Change Analysts and Senior Change Analysts (your immediate team)
Project Managers (who you'll support daily)
Departmental Admins (for scheduling and room bookings)
Internal Communications team (for message deployment)
Learning & Development team (for training logistics)

Outside the business

Training vendors (for booking external venues or trainers, occasionally)

7What you need before you start

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

Strong written and verbal communication skills in British English.
Proficiency with the core Microsoft Office suite (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint).
A proven track record of being reliable and organised, perhaps in an administrative or support role.
A genuine eagerness to learn about change management and internal consulting.
The ability to follow instructions accurately and ask for clarification when needed.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Digital Collaboration & Project Management Tools

Our projects are getting more complex, and we're relying more heavily on tools like Asana, MS Planner, and Miro for real-time collaboration. Moving beyond basic task updates to building simple project plans and facilitating digital workshops will be key.

Dependency Management · Custom Fields & Reporting · Digital Whiteboard Facilitation · Automation Rules

This week: Explore all the features within Asana/MS Planner that you don't currently use.
This month: Ask your manager if you can build a small, internal project plan from scratch using the tool.
Month 2: Volunteer to set up a simple Miro board for a team brainstorming session.
Month 3: Look for online tutorials or internal training on advanced features for these tools.

Quick win: Start by setting up personal task automations within your project management tool. It's a great way to learn without impacting a live project.

Basic Data Visualisation & Reporting

The ability to present information clearly and visually is becoming more important. Moving beyond simple Excel charts to creating more impactful visualisations will help you communicate project status and feedback more effectively.

Chart Selection · Data Storytelling (Basic) · Dashboard Principles (Simple) · Tool Integration

This week: Find three examples of really good (and really bad) data visualisations online.
This month: Recreate a simple project status report using more effective charts in Excel or PowerPoint.
Month 2: Ask if you can help summarise feedback from a small survey, focusing on visual representation.
Month 3: Explore basic features of Power BI or Tableau (if available) to see how they differ from Excel charts.

Quick win: Take a standard table of numbers you usually present and try to turn it into a compelling visual. Even a simple bar chart can be more impactful.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Completing internal training modules on our specific change management methodology and tools.
Shadowing experienced Change Analysts and Project Managers to understand their daily work and challenges.
Attending internal 'lunch and learn' sessions on various business topics to build your organisational knowledge.
Seeking out opportunities to take on slightly more complex administrative tasks as you gain confidence.

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 Support 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.

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:

Implement changeLevel 3

Applied to your work in Change Support Coordinator

The objective of this unit is to equip learners with the knowledge of change management principles and the practical skills to implement change effectively. Learners will be able to plan, manage, monitor, and evaluate the implementation of change plans, while communicating effectively with stakeholders.

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.

Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the 'support' work can be repetitive. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to a clever AI? We're not talking about replacing you, but giving you a super-assistant to handle the tedious bits, freeing you up for more interesting stuff and making you incredibly efficient.

Our Internal Consulting team is all about working smarter, not just harder. That means embracing AI tools to make your day-to-day tasks quicker, more accurate, and frankly, less boring. For a Change Support Coordinator, this means less time on manual formatting, basic drafting, and data sifting, and more time learning the ropes of actual change management.

First-Draft Comms Generator

Feed project briefs and key messages into a generative AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) to get initial drafts of meeting reminders, simple FAQs, or 'save the date' emails. You'll then refine and add the human touch, saving you hours of staring at a blank screen.

Basic Survey Summary

After exporting raw data from a small survey (e.g., a post-training feedback form), use AI to quickly summarise open-ended comments, identifying common themes or key sentiment without having to manually read every single response. It's not deep analysis, but it's a great first pass.

Smart Scheduling Assistant

Use AI-powered scheduling tools (often built into Outlook or Teams) to find the best meeting times across multiple calendars, avoiding the endless back-and-forth emails. It'll even suggest alternative slots if someone's busy, making your life much easier.

PowerPoint Polisher (Basic)

Paste your bullet points for a presentation slide into an AI and ask it to 'make this sound more concise and professional' or 'suggest a stronger opening sentence.' It won't build the whole deck, but it'll make your text shine, quickly.

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 Support 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 Support 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.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Internal Consulting

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in internal consulting, especially around change management, are highly transferable. You could move into external consulting, project management, HR transformation, or even specialist roles in organisational development within other industries. The ability to help people navigate change is valuable everywhere.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
