Job description

Regional Programme Adviser

Interim | Day rate | Home based with occasional travel | Initially to 31 March 2027 | Potential to extend

Sellick Partnership has been exclusively retained to recruit an experienced Regional Programme Adviser for a high-profile national public-sector programme working across local government, central government, housing, regeneration and public land/assets.

This is a stakeholder-led programme role and we are specifically looking for candidates with experience working within, or extensively alongside, local government.

The role

Working closely with senior programme colleagues, you will support delivery across councils, combined authorities and government departments.

Responsibilities will include:

• Building effective relationships with councils and other public-sector stakeholders
• Supporting projects around housing, regeneration, public land/assets and government funding
• Analysing complex data and performance information and identifying the key messages
• Turning analysis into clear written reports, briefing papers and verbal updates
• Monitoring project pipelines, risks, milestones and delivery progress
• Supporting funding administration, assessment, monitoring and reporting
• Organising meetings, events and webinars
• Confidently participating in and facilitating meetings, webinars and Board-level activity
• Research, quality assurance and wider programme support.

About you - please read before applying

To be considered, you must be able to demonstrate:

• Experience working within or closely with local government/public-sector organisations
• Strong stakeholder-management skills, ideally dealing with people at different levels of seniority
• An understanding of political environments and how to communicate appropriately with officers, senior leaders and elected Members
• Strong experience analysing information/data and turning it into clear, accessible outputs
• Excellent written communication and report-writing skills
• Experience managing multiple projects, workstreams, deadlines and priorities
• Confidence presenting information verbally and contributing to meetings/events
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• A genuine interest in housing, regeneration, property/public assets and place-based delivery

Direct property, housing or regeneration experience is advantageous but not essential. However, strong local-government experience, stakeholder engagement and analytical/programme skills are essential.

This is not a general project administration role. We are looking for someone who can work independently, analyse complex information, communicate confidently with senior stakeholders and understand the sensitivities of working across politically led public-sector organisations.
