Location: Suffolk (3 days a week). London and Bristol can also be considered.
Employment basis: Permanent and the role is expected to be a full-time position.
Working pattern: We operate on an office-based contract model, but support hybrid working where possible. This means you’ll need to be based within reasonable travel distance of the office and able to attend in person when business needs require, typically 3 days per week, though this may vary by team or project. Flexibility to be on site when needed is essential.
Salary: £30,000 - £37,000 dependent on experience plus bonus, market leading pension and other flexible benefits.
Closing date: Monday 3rd November 2025
As this role is within a government-funded project, we are required to comply with strict UK right-to-work legislation.

To be considered, applicants must already hold the legal right to live and work in the UK. We are committed to equality of opportunity and warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates who meet this requirement.
The Opportunity

The project has obtained planning approval and has started construction works. It has recently achieved Financial Investment Decision (FID) meaning that all the funding for the full lifespan of the project is now secured and in place guaranteeing the full delivery of this new nuclear power station. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
The Role
We are looking for an Organisational Capability Coordinator to join our Organisational Capability Team. In this role, you’ll help to manage a shared team mailbox reviewing and respond to organisational change and management requests.
We’re looking for someone to provide coaching and support to ensure consistency when implementing organisational changes, enabling our business to demonstrate that we have a capable organisation to maintain nuclear safety. You’ll receive full training on using our HR system and ensure all changes meet compliance standards.
Collaboration and efficiency is key. You’ll work closely with managers, HR Business Partners, and the wider HR team keeping stakeholders informed and updated throughout the process.
This is a great opportunity to gain insight into nuclear site licensing requirements and engage with external regulators, including the Office for Nuclear Regulation and Environment Agency, through quarterly regular meetings and interfaces. You’ll support the Organisational Capability Lead in preparing meeting packs and data, offering valuable exposure to regulatory processes.
Who you are
We are looking for someone experienced or interested in organisational capability who excels at facilitating discussions, managing stakeholders, and building strong relationships.
You should be able to professionally challenge ideas, drive outcomes and lead discussions that provoke thought, ensuring alignment towards shared goals.
You should be able present complex information in a clear and confident manner, both written and verbal. We are also looking for great attention to detail, with the ability to identify risks, apply critical thinking, and prioritise actions.
You approach problem-solving creatively and pragmatically, ensuring efficient solutions. You are also able take ownership of work from start to finish and deliver high-quality results.
If any of the above sounds like you – we would like to hear from you! We are also interested in hearing from people who are looking to develop these skills.
