Senior Economic Officer - Affordable Workplace in London - Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited

Your new company
This central London Borough are looking to recruit an Economic Development officer to manage a number of Affordable Workplace schemes. They have a large Creative Enterprise Zone across the borough and have been hugely successful in supporting growth for both locals and businesses.

Your new role
This role will lead co-ordination and delivery of key sector interventions, with a particular but not exclusive focus on how we take forward commitments in the Council's Cultural Strategy as they relate to creative enterprise, including managing our status as a Creative Enterprise Zone accredited by the GLA. The role will lead on specific elements of affordable workspace delivery, managing key projects from our Affordable Workspace Strategy and working closely with our Planning team and officers providing wider business support. The post will provide crucial support to the Strategic Lead in developing and delivering initiatives relating to other key sectors and clusters as they emerge, supporting the Strategic Lead's overall day-to-day programme leadership

What you'll need to succeed
Ideally have worked on previous Affordable Workplace schemes for another London Borough. All round Economic Development experience will be considered.

What you'll get in return
A long term contract. The role is initially offered as a rolling 6 month contract, although funding is in place for the next 2/3 years. Depending on experience, there could be a permanent role offered later this year. The day rate is circa £275 - £300 per day, and you will only be required in the office 1 day per week. You will probably want to spend further time around the Borough so being London based is a huge advantage.
