Project Support Officer Behaviour Statement Examples

Complete EO and HEO examples for four behaviours commonly relevant to Project Support Officer recruitment

Project support behaviour examples should show more than good organisation. The assessor needs to see how you handled a real delivery problem, what you personally did and why your actions were effective at the advertised grade.

The vacancy controls which behaviours are assessed. The examples below focus on four behaviours that translate well to common project support responsibilities.

What strong Project Support Officer behaviour evidence looks like

• A specific project, programme or change activity with a clear problem.
• Visible personal responsibility for controls, information, coordination or escalation.
• Project language used accurately, without claiming decisions that belonged to the Project Manager or board.
• Actions that show judgement rather than simply following a checklist.
• A result connected to delivery, information quality, risk reduction or stakeholder action.

Common reasons behaviour statements score poorly

• The example is mainly a list of project support duties.
• The candidate says they maintained a tracker but never explains how they used the information.
• The result is the overall project outcome even though the candidate did not control it.
• The HEO example does not show challenge, ownership or improvement of the support process.
• The statement spends too many words on project background and too few on personal action.
