About the role

Are you looking for a new challenge? Well this may just be the role for you. The Parks and Open Spaces team are currently recruiting for a new role as Parks Development Manager. This post has been created following a restructure earlier this year.

We want you to explore, develop and roll-out new initiatives to make sure that our open spaces remain award-winning and cost-effective. You’ll identify areas for future improvements and developments, such as where and how we can improve our parks, play areas and sports areas. You will also look at ways in which we can reduce the cost of maintenance, and market our offer more proactively, demonstrating the real benefits of the great outdoors and of being active.

• Project Management
• Procurement
• External Fundraising
• Asset Management
• Contract Management
• Capital and Revenue Budget Management
• Partnership Building
• Cross service working
