In response the Borderlands Partnership has come together as a unique, cross-border collaboration covering Dumfries and Galloway and Scottish Borders in the south of Scotland and England’s border counties of Cumbria and Northumberland. Having successfully negotiated the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal, worth over £450m, in March 2021 we are now moving to the next stage and delivering the Deal to bring real benefits to the people, communities and businesses of our local area.

Once approved you will remain the key point of contact for projects, overseeing reporting, identifying challenges and risks and completing the checks on the project claims. Ranging from £1.5m projects to £50m worth of investment our projects will have a major impact on our local area and range across business growth and innovation, low carbon growth, improving places and our infrastructure.

Alongside the project specific work you will take a leading hands-on role in support the development and roll out of areas of Deal-wide programme activity. These are areas where the Partnership is taking the lead in delivering elements of the Deal such as Digital, Energy, Natural Capital and Places.

The Borderlands Programme Management Office is a small team connected with our five partner Councils, the UK Government and Scottish Government and through a network of growth Deals across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. As such there will be opportunities to work with other areas to share best practice and develop broader programme management knowledge and experience including through monitoring and evaluation, financial profiling and a wide-range of partnership activities. We are therefore looking for someone with energy, drive and ideas, as well as an eye for detail, good communications and personal skills and excellent organisation.
