Senior Child Care Officer - Edgewood Road

About the roleEconomic Growth &amp; Sustainability is part of the Council’s Place &amp; Economy Directorate and spans different activities from inward investment and business support to external funding and programme management, to digital and electric vehicle infrastructure, to climate change and sustainable living.External funding is a crucial element of the team’s work. It is responsible for identifying opportunities, developing business cases, bids, and submissions to secure funding to support economic growth and regeneration, and putting in place robust processes and systems to ensure that resources are targeted to deliver improved outcomes. This involves a mixture of bidding in competition with other areas and securing funding which has been provisionally allocated to the area but requires the submission of an Investment Plan or similar case to confirm and drawdown the allocation. In recent years, the team has managed one of the largest Community Renewal Fund programmes in England and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) with over £10m secured for local projects supporting businesses, communities, and skills. in competition with other areas. Pivotal to this was being able to demonstrate stakeholder engagement to inform the interventions that would be prioritised for support through this funding, and political support from the areas’ MPs. Details of activities that are being delivered through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund are available at <a href="https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/communities-assets-and-grants/shared-prosperity-fund" target="_blank">Shared Prosperity Fund | North Northamptonshire Council (northnorthants.gov.uk)</a>. Whilst the UKSPF programme is coming to an end in March 2026, the team is working on new funding programmes and opportunities including the Pride in Place initiative, which will see targeted funding and support helping to regenerate three local communities in Corby, Kettering, and Wellingborough. Business support activities include site visits and business owner meetings to support and discuss issues impacting local enterprises. The team uses a triage system to signpost businesses to sources of specialist help. This is aided through the North Northants Business Forum which brings together the main public sector organisations, business networks and partners representing local businesses in the area. The Council is a member of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce and sponsors the local Business of the Year category. It also attends local business events and meetings to explain the services offered by the Council, gather intelligence, take ‘soundings,’ and provide advice and support. With North Northants a target for housing growth, it is vital that new businesses are attracted to support the growing population and reduce out-commuting. Inward investment is an important activity for the team. Some of the recent enquiries which the team has dealt with include investments by Iron Mountain (Information Management Services), Ball Corporation (Manufacturing), Navarra (Manufacturing), and Nike (Sports). The team manages the Superfast Northamptonshire initiative which is bringing new investment in digital connectivity to Northamptonshire. Attention has shifted to Phase 4 of the initiative which will be delivered through Project Gigabit led nationally by the Government Agency Building Digital UK (BDUK). This will focus on premises which have not benefitted from gigabit connectivity through previous phases, or are outside of commercial coverage, or planned coverage with delivery through Cityfibre. The team also manages the North Northamptonshire Electric Vehicle Initiative (NNEVI) with the NNEVI Strategy adopted in 2024. A key objective of the strategy is the expansion of the EV charging network in the area to cover all the towns and serve the wider rural area. The team has secured almost £2.9m from Government to invest alongside the private sector to build, operate and maintain this network. The team also has a key role in leading the Council’s strategic approach to climate change, which includes the Carbon Management Plan and Climate Change Strategy, which was adopted earlier this year, and in shaping North Northamptonshire’s transition to a greener, more resilient future. Currently, work is underway to advance the development of a Local Area Energy Plan for North Northants. This team supports the delivery of strategic projects that enable environmental resilience, adoption of low-carbon technologies, and sustainable development across the area. It works across departments — such as Planning, Highways, and Assets — and with external partners to embed sustainability into policy and initiatives. This includes promoting carbon reduction practices, supporting sustainable employment and skills programmes, and ensuring that inward investment aligns with environmental priorities. The team also contributes to policy development, public engagement, and the integration of sustainability metrics into project performance frameworks, helping the Council meet its long-term climate and economic objectives.Other initiatives led by the team include the management of the Northamptonshire e-scooter trial with Voi Technology (which covers the towns of Corby, Kettering, Burton Latimer, Wellingborough, Higham Ferrers and Rushden – as well as Northampton). This provides an important, green and low cost transport mode for accessing employment and training.The focus of this role within the Economic Growth &amp; Sustainability team is economic development and specifically skills and employment. This will include work with the Department of Work &amp; Pensions, Job Centre Plus and other specialist partners and employers to provide support for local people seeking employment or a new job through Job Fairs. In addition to finding employment, these events help enable people to get advice on training, starting their own business, volunteering, or career progression with other wraparound support such as money advice and wellbeing. The Council’s Economic Growth Strategy, adopted earlier in the year, provides the strategic framework for these and other activities.If you have any questions, or would like more information about the role, please contact Greg Ward <a href="mailto:ian.achurch@northnorthants.gov.uk" target="_blank">greg.ward@northnorthants.gov.uk</a>.What will you be doing?The purpose of this job is to support growth of the local economy and promote North Northamptonshire as a great place to do business, visit and live.

Head of Communications and Engagement

About the roleEconomic Growth &amp; Sustainability is part of the Council’s Place &amp; Economy Directorate and spans different activities from inward investment and business support to external funding and programme management, to digital and electric vehicle infrastructure, to climate change and sustainable living.External funding is a crucial element of the team’s work. It is responsible for identifying opportunities, developing business cases, bids, and submissions to secure funding to support economic growth and regeneration, and putting in place robust processes and systems to ensure that resources are targeted to deliver improved outcomes. This involves a mixture of bidding in competition with other areas and securing funding which has been provisionally allocated to the area but requires the submission of an Investment Plan or similar case to confirm and drawdown the allocation. In recent years, the team has managed one of the largest Community Renewal Fund programmes in England and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) with over £10m secured for local projects supporting businesses, communities, and skills. in competition with other areas. Pivotal to this was being able to demonstrate stakeholder engagement to inform the interventions that would be prioritised for support through this funding, and political support from the areas’ MPs. Details of activities that are being delivered through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund are available at <a href="https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/communities-assets-and-grants/shared-prosperity-fund" target="_blank">Shared Prosperity Fund | North Northamptonshire Council (northnorthants.gov.uk)</a>. Whilst the UKSPF programme is coming to an end in March 2026, the team is working on new funding programmes and opportunities including the Pride in Place initiative, which will see targeted funding and support helping to regenerate three local communities in Corby, Kettering, and Wellingborough. Business support activities include site visits and business owner meetings to support and discuss issues impacting local enterprises. The team uses a triage system to signpost businesses to sources of specialist help. This is aided through the North Northants Business Forum which brings together the main public sector organisations, business networks and partners representing local businesses in the area. The Council is a member of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce and sponsors the local Business of the Year category. It also attends local business events and meetings to explain the services offered by the Council, gather intelligence, take ‘soundings,’ and provide advice and support. With North Northants a target for housing growth, it is vital that new businesses are attracted to support the growing population and reduce out-commuting. Inward investment is an important activity for the team. Some of the recent enquiries which the team has dealt with include investments by Iron Mountain (Information Management Services), Ball Corporation (Manufacturing), Navarra (Manufacturing), and Nike (Sports). The team manages the Superfast Northamptonshire initiative which is bringing new investment in digital connectivity to Northamptonshire. Attention has shifted to Phase 4 of the initiative which will be delivered through Project Gigabit led nationally by the Government Agency Building Digital UK (BDUK). This will focus on premises which have not benefitted from gigabit connectivity through previous phases, or are outside of commercial coverage, or planned coverage with delivery through Cityfibre. The team also manages the North Northamptonshire Electric Vehicle Initiative (NNEVI) with the NNEVI Strategy adopted in 2024. A key objective of the strategy is the expansion of the EV charging network in the area to cover all the towns and serve the wider rural area. The team has secured almost £2.9m from Government to invest alongside the private sector to build, operate and maintain this network. The team has a key role in leading the Council’s strategic approach to climate change, which includes the Carbon Management Plan and Climate Change Strategy, which was adopted earlier this year, and in shaping North Northamptonshire’s transition to a greener, more resilient future. Currently, work is underway to advance the development of a Local Area Energy Plan for North Northamptonshire. This team supports the delivery of strategic projects that enable environmental resilience, adoption of low-carbon technologies, and sustainable development across the area. It works across departments — such as Planning, Highways, and Assets — and with external partners to embed sustainability into policy and initiatives. This includes promoting carbon reduction practices, supporting sustainable employment and skills programmes, and ensuring that inward investment aligns with environmental priorities. The team also contributes to policy development, public engagement, and the integration of sustainability metrics into project performance frameworks, helping the Council meet its long-term climate and economic objectives.Other initiatives led by the team include the management of the Northamptonshire e-scooter trial with Voi Technology (which covers the towns of Corby, Kettering, Burton Latimer, Wellingborough, Higham Ferrers and Rushden – as well as Northampton). This provides an important, green and low cost transport mode for accessing employment and training.The focus of this role is supporting the delivery of the Council’s Economic Growth Strategy, Local Area Energy Plan, Climate Change Strategy, and other strategies, plans, programmes and projects, and related activities, involving the team.If you have any questions, or would like more information about the role, please contact Nicole Geary <a href="mailto:ian.achurch@northnorthants.gov.uk" target="_blank">nicole.geary@northnorthants.gov.uk</a>.What will you be doing?Assisting the team with the delivery of the Economic Growth Strategy, Climate Change Strategy, Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy and other strategies, programmes, and projects Supporting delivery of programme/project activity including with the maintenance of accurate, compliant records and provide other administrative support as meetings, raising purchase orders and invoices, meeting organisation, minute taking and project promotion via website and associated content updates Preparing report data and narrative for internal and external audiences on programme/project performance, providing supporting narrative for stakeholder reports and meetings, and supplying data for funder and other reporting Ensuring accuracy, confidentiality, and security of information and responsibility of GDPR governance when involved with partners, stakeholders and members of the community Supporting delivery of any associated events to promote project activity, including assisting with the administration of the event – including venue bookings, delegate registration and agenda planning Supporting management and monitoring of Government funding, including spend, delivery and alignment with relevant legislation and guidelines Developing and maintaining accurate and compliant electronic and hard copy records to include inputting to the programme/project information management systems ensuring audit compliance and data policies are followed Assisting in the completion and submission of financial claims and monitoring returns Demonstrating awareness/understanding of equal opportunities and other people’s behavioural, physical, social and welfare needs.

Could You Foster a Child in Rutland?&nbsp;
Rutland County Council urgently needs more local foster carers to help children aged 0 to 18 stay close to their schools, friends, and communities. Foster carers play a vital role in supporting children and young people who, for various reasons, can’t live with their birth families.
There are several types of foster care to suit different lifestyles. These include:
<ul>
<li>short-term care, where a child stays with you until they can return home or move on</li>
<li>long-term care, offering a stable home into adulthood; emergency care for children needing immediate safety</li>
<li>short breaks for children with additional needs; and respite care, which provides regular support to families</li>
</ul>
Fostering is incredibly rewarding.
You’ll receive expert training, emotional support, and generous financial allowances - starting from £342 per week for a new carer looking after younger children, rising to £555 per week for an experienced carer looking after teenagers, as well as birthday and festive payments.&nbsp;
About you…
You don’t need to be married, own your home, or have children of your own.
If you’re over 21 and have a spare room, fostering could be for you………
&nbsp;
To find out more, contact Rutland’s Fostering Team for an informal chat on 01572 720 942 or email <a href="mailto:fostering@rutland.gov.uk" target="_blank">fostering@rutland.gov.uk</a>.
