Are you interested in working on a programme focused on connecting more people to the nature and heritage in urban areas? Do you love working in a collaborative and fast-paced environment? Are you wonderfully organised with loads of initiative and a talent for multi-tasking?

We’re looking for a Project/Programme Officer to support the North East Urban team with the development and delivery of the North East Urban Programme. This is an exciting programme building our approach to working in urban areas across the North East to address unequal access and deliver benefits for nature, heritage, and people.

You will be part of the North East Urban team which covers urban activity across the whole region with focus in our urban priority locations of Durham, Gateshead, and Middlesbrough.

Our work is guided by partnership and working beyond National Trust property boundaries, where we are trying out new ways to help the National Trust and partners evolve in response to new challenges and opportunities in urban areas.

In practice, this means working with colleagues internally across the organisation as well as external stakeholders, to ensure we have excellent systems and oversight in place to manage this complex programme. This will be a varied and vital supporting role and no one day will look the same.

**Who we're looking forWe would love to hear from you if you have**:

- a methodical and solution-focused approach, with an ability to prioritise effectively and a good eye for detail and quality.
- a good understanding of programme and/or project management principles and practice, including project and/or programme setup, benefits management, and evaluation.

It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
