This is a varied role and experience of successfully delivering projects with a wide range of stakeholders, managing contracts and budgets, preparing reports and briefings and event management would be beneficial.
 
But most of all we’re looking for someone with a passion for the north of England!

  • Flexible working practices including working from other locations and from home.
  • A generous employer contribution pension scheme.
  • A range of salary sacrifice schemes.
  • Commitment to staff development and continuous learning.
  • Progression and career enhancement opportunities. 
If you have the skills and qualities to succeed in this role and are committed to delivering the combined authority’s vision and values, we look forward to hearing from you.  If you would like an informal discussion, or further information about this role please contact James Moore Strategic Advisor at james.moore@northeast-ca.gov.uk.
