Economic Growth Officer
Economic Growth & Visitor Economy
Temporary, up to 12 months, maternity cover
Full time, 37 hours per week
NS10, £36,363 to £38,220 per annum
We are looking for an Economic Growth Officer to work with key partners (internal/external) on the delivery of projects/events, delivering agreed outcomes relevant to the economic growth strategy and enhancing the profile of the district. This is a temporary role for maternity cover.
Does this sound like you? A dynamic, customer-focussed Economic Growth Officer who will help drive investment, support businesses and deliver meaningful outcomes for our communities. You’ll be out and about across the district, visiting businesses, attending meetings, conducting site visits and championing new initiatives such as our new gift card scheme – so regular access to a roadworthy, insured vehicle is essential.
Educated to degree level and experienced in economic development, you will bring strong knowledge of funding for employment and skills, planning policy and the full inward-investment journey. With excellent communication, analytical and interpersonal skills, you’ll work collaboratively with colleagues, members, partners and the public, representing the Council professionally, including outside standard hours. If you excel in a fast-paced environment, adapt quickly to changing priorities and are a great communicator, we want to hear from you.
We’re an ambitious, forward-thinking Council with strong values and a culture of doing our absolute best to serve our customers. We are proud of our organisational culture and receive positive feedback from our employees. We have a programme of internal activity to ensure that the voices of our employees are always heard and that they are kept informed on all Council activity and events. From roadshows to an annual award ceremony, from reviewing working arrangements to our Hug in a Mug initiative, it is incredibly important our employees are shown how valued they are and that they remain the beating heart of our workplace.
We offer:
Enrolment in the career average local government pension scheme.
Flexi scheme.
Hybrid working.
A generous annual leave entitlement that increases with service.
Family-friendly benefits.
One days’ paid volunteering leave.
Lifestyle benefits platform.
Funded health cash plan.
Free car parking to June 2026
You will be working with a professional, committed and experienced team who are passionate about supporting us to deliver the objectives as outlined in our Community Plan.
