3. A new approach to flood management involving the community in design and delivery of water management and nature based solutions;

4. Measuring the benefits of sustainable urban drainage and natural flood management,  and a monitoring baseline to monitor performance of solutions against [as a condition of the funding];

You will be doing this by supporting the management team by:

· Overseeing administrative tasks by planning and scheduling project group meetings, preparing agendas, taking notes, and following up on agreed actions for WP2.

· Co-ordination and reporting of risks, issues, actions, and decisions to projects.

· Playing a role in identifying and addressing issues that arise during a project, by helping to resolve any conflicts, removing obstacles, and helping to find solutions to challenges.

· Ensuring that project reports are prepared in time and at quality standards, and ready to be distributed to project partners.

· Monitoring and reporting of tasks and actions, ensuring timelines are agreed, all tasks are assigned, progress is monitored, and deadlines are met.
