Economic Development Officer
Newcastle City Council is looking for an Economic Development Officer to help deliver support to businesses across the city.
This is an opportunity to take a leading role in the Council's contribution to the wider Business North East programme, providing information, diagnostics and brokerage support to sole traders, social enterprises and SMEs.
Working directly with businesses, you will help them identify opportunities, overcome barriers and access the advice, funding and specialist support they need to grow, acting as a gateway to both Council services and the wider network of business support available across the region.
The role combines business engagement, partnership working and service delivery. You'll work closely with a wide range of business support organisations, helping to shape and coordinate this important area of activity while ensuring businesses receive the right support at the right time.
We're looking for someone with experience of business support or economic development, strong relationship-building skills, and a good understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing small businesses.
If you're looking for a role where you can make a tangible difference to Newcastle's economy, work directly with local businesses, and take ownership of a key area of delivery, we'd love to hear from you.
As a permanent member of the team, you'll have the opportunity to help shape how businesses access support through both the Council and the wider Business North East network for years to come.
For an informal discussion, please contact Ed Banks, Economic Advisor, edward.banks@newcastle.gov.uk.
