FILLED: Prince 2 project managers - 6 months - Hampshire

We are working with a Government Agency who have the following requirement:

4 Project Managers to implement projects associated with a major data collection and publishing exercise. They aim to be Prince 2 conformant organisation and the consultants will work with some of the operational managers who tend to be good at their subject areas but need some 'mentoring' to help them become more effective project managers.

This will require consultants used to working in a government environment and who have several years experience of Prince 2.

The role is for 6 months initially and is based in Hampshire

Please contact David Meggitt if you are interested in this role.

FILLED: HR Expert - Immediate Requirement

We are working with a consulting company that need an HR Expert for between 6 and 25 days of consulting over the next few months. They have a client embarking on an HR Transformation programme and have an immediate need for about 6 days work over the next two weeks in HR Process Mapping.

The specific requirement is to produce detailed process maps with key process steps and responsibilities for a) learning and development and b) career and succession planning. A high quality professional output is sought. The work will initially be based in the UK. We think we are probably looking for someone with 4 to 8 years experience, as a guideline.

There is more work on the project to come later (all planned in outline and signed off by the client) which will make a total of 25 days consulting support. This goes into other areas of HR Transformation and if we can find someone with the right breadth of skills for the first 6 days of process mapping we should be able to extend the individual's assignment to 25 days in total.

This is for an immediate start, telephone interviews will be held on Monday.

If you are interested, or know someone who may be, please let me know.

Please contact Tony McNeill for more information.
