Bassetlaw District Council is delivering a bold and ambitious £19.54 million Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) over 10 years, focused specifically on strengthening, revitalising and transforming Worksop. We are seeking an organised, motivated and proactive Programme Officer to help drive this major investment programme and ensure it delivers meaningful outcomes for the town.
As the accountable body, the Council holds legal and financial responsibility for managing PiPP funds and ensuring full compliance with government requirements. While the Worksop Together Board sets strategic priorities and oversees delivery, the Council remains responsible for ensuring all projects meet funding conditions, performance expectations and assurance frameworks. Your role will be crucial in supporting this governance and ensuring compliance at every stage.
You will coordinate the day‑to‑day delivery of the programme, tracking performance, monitoring spend, gathering evidence and supporting high‑quality reporting to government and local partners. You’ll assist with commissioning, procurement and competitive grant processes, and help develop programme management tools that keep delivery on track and identify risks early. Building strong relationships with partners, community organisations and internal teams will be key, as will helping promote the programme’s achievements and opportunities.
We’re looking for someone with strong analytical skills, excellent communication and experience working on complex projects or programmes. You should be confident working with data, evidence and multiple stakeholders, and motivated by the opportunity to support long‑term regeneration in Worksop.
In return, you will be part of a supportive and collaborative team, benefit from flexible working arrangements, and play a central role in shaping the future of Worksop through this major 10‑year programme.
If you’re passionate about place‑based regeneration and excited to help deliver real change for Worksop, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today.
