From finding new ways to boost town centre footfall and breathe life into vacant units, to engaging with local businesses, developing funding bids and supporting major regeneration schemes, you'll be involved from idea through to delivery.

Following the success of Barnstaple's Market Quarter regeneration, there's plenty more to come, with future projects emerging from our regeneration vision alongside major schemes in Ilfracombe and across the district.

If you enjoy solving problems, working with people and seeing projects come to life, we'd love to hear from you.

Great places don't happen by accident. They need ideas, investment, partnerships and people who can make things happen.We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Project Officer to join our Economic Development and Regeneration team on a permanent basis to help deliver an exciting programme of projects across North Devon.
