We are seeking a Programme Coordinator to implement the delivery of the River Beane Flagship Programme, with funding from Affinity Water. 

The Programme Coordinator will lead the day-to-day coordination, management and governance of the River Beane Flagship Programme, working with partners to deliver the Catchment Delivery Plan and achieve long-term environmental outcomes. This includes overseeing programme performance, evaluation, project and milestone tracking, risk management, governance processes and communications.

Partnership working is at the heart of this role.

Acting as the link between local delivery partners and the national CaBA Flagship Working Groups, you will help translate national objectives and best practice into effective action across the River Beane catchment.

The role will also support the development and coordination of the River Lea Catchment Partnership, embedding successful approaches, partnerships and delivery frameworks from the Flagship into wider catchment planning and delivery.
