Job description

Hackney is one of the most dynamic and progressive local authorities in the UK. We are a resilient, vibrant, and creative borough in the heart of London, with strong, diverse communities and a powerful set of shared values.

Over the past twenty years, the Council has built up first-class services, outstanding public infrastructure, and a reputation for excellence, innovation, and ambition. We are leading the way on essential work such as our fight for equity in Hackney with a particular focus on becoming an actively anti-racist borough. But the work doesn't stop there, we are proactive in our approach to bringing fairness to all aspects of life including gender, neurodiversity and across the poverty divide.

Hackney is a borough of contrasts and opportunities - stretching from the edge of the City to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it's a hub of rapid economic growth in tech, media, fashion, and the creative industries. With more green space than any other inner London borough, outstanding schools, world-class transport links, and thriving arts and culture, Hackney is fast becoming one of London’s most desirable places to live, work, and visit.

Our challenge? Ensuring that regeneration and economic growth benefit all residents, creating opportunities that transform lives. We're looking for ambitious, creative professionals who share our commitment to inclusive growth and community impact.

Hackney’s Regeneration and Economic Development Service drives the Council’s strategic initiatives in key growth areas (Dalston, Shoreditch/Hoxton, Hackney Central, Hackney Wick, Woodberry Down) and champions borough-wide inclusive economic development.

As a service, we are committed to delivering an ambitious programme to create exemplary places, build new affordable homes, deliver new workspace, deliver inclusive economic growth, and shape the future of the borough’s town centres in partnership with local residents and businesses.

The Council is seeking to recruit a dynamic and motivated Regeneration Officer to join its award winning Regeneration and Economic Development Service. As a Regeneration Officer you'll work across the service, providing programme support and supporting the effective management of regeneration projects and programmes. You'll need to quickly establish strong working relationships in the team to support the effective management, development and delivery of regeneration in the borough.

You will be responsible for developing and delivering regeneration projects and will lead the development and coordination of formal reporting, track progress and performance, help the Council build on lessons learnt from projects and identify innovative approaches to addressing challenges and delivering improved outcomes.

You'll come with suitable project management experience and have broad knowledge of the area regeneration sectors. We are keen to recruit a Regeneration Officer with a wide range of skills and experiences.
