Job description

Join us as a Programme Officer

Are you passionate about making a real impact in the region? We’re looking for a Programme Officer to help coordinate and deliver key programmes, projects, and funding streams that support the North East Combined Authority’s strategic objectives. This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in shaping initiatives that drive growth and improve outcomes for our communities.

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of programme delivery—planning, organising, and managing projects to ensure resources are used effectively. You’ll monitor progress, develop processes, and provide accurate management information to keep everything on track. From stakeholder engagement and event coordination to financial reconciliation and reporting, you’ll ensure every detail contributes to successful outcomes.

You’ll work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners, building strong relationships that make a difference. If you’re highly organised, detail-focused, and thrive in a dynamic environment, this role offers the chance to influence meaningful projects and support the North East CA’s vision for the future. Join us and help deliver programmes that matter.

We are proud to be an inclusive employer, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, communities and experiences.
