Further Information
Help turn programme ambitions into real outcomes

We are looking for an organised and proactive Programme Officer to join our Health and Employability Team on a part-time basis and help support effective programme delivery across the North East.

This is an opportunity to contribute to the North East becoming the Home of Real Opportunity. Working closely with Programme Managers and Project Managers, you will help coordinate activity, monitor progress and support programmes that tackle economic inactivity and barriers to employment.

The Role
As Programme Officer, you will support programme governance, financial monitoring, performance reporting and assurance. You will prepare reports, maintain accurate records, track risks and issues, and coordinate meetings and funding agreements. You will help strengthen consistent processes and ensure programme activity is delivered against agreed objectives, timescales and budgets.

About You
You will be organised, proactive and attentive to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities and communicate effectively with colleagues and external partners.

We're looking for someone who can:
 
  • Coordinate programme activity and maintain accurate records.
  • Support reporting, governance, financial monitoring and assurance.
  • Track milestones, risks, issues and delivery requirements.
  • Build positive working relationships with colleagues and partners.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and inclusive delivery.

What it Isn't
This is not solely an administrative role. You will play an active part in keeping programmes organised, identifying emerging issues and supporting effective delivery across the team.

So, if you...
  • Enjoy organising information and making things happen.
  • Are confident managing multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Value teamwork, accuracy and continuous improvement.
  • Want your work to support better outcomes for North East residents
....we'd love to hear from you.

We are proud to be an inclusive employer, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, communities and experiences. We support flexible working and encourage applications from candidates who are under-represented including women, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.

If you would like an informal discussion, or further information about this role please contact Julie Gwillym, Programme Manager, julie.gwillym@northeast-ca.gov.uk.

Closing date for applications: Sunday 29th November 2026 at 23:59.
