We are looking for proactive, experienced, flexible individuals who value a collaborative approach. You will be confident at managing stakeholders and projects from start to finish, balancing priorities and keeping track of programme activities.

Reporting to the Programme Manager, you will be working in a small, enthusiastic team of five, both home and office-based.

We have two full-time, permanent positions. We are looking for two colleagues to specifically support local authorities in the Midlands and across South-East and East England. The Midlands role will be permanently home-based. For the South-East/East role, there is the option to work from our London office or be home-based, or a blended working approach.

Once Covid-19 restrictions are eased, we expect the roles to involve travel within your region a couple of times a month, for example to deliver a workshop for a council, and occasionally further afield within England to assist colleagues.
