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 Programme Officer to join its award winning Regeneration and Economic Development Service. As a Regeneration Programme Officer you’ll work across the service, providing programme support and supporting the effective management of regeneration and economic development 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 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 substantial project management experience and have broad knowledge of the housing and regeneration sectors. Whilst a background in housing and regeneration is desirable for this role it is not essential, as we are keen to recruit a Regeneration Programme Officer with a wide range of skills and experiences.
