Harrogate is a town with a distinctive identity: shaped by its heritage, its green spaces and the people who give the place its character. Over the past year, the Town Council has strengthened that identity by establishing a clearer civic presence and putting in place the systems, partnerships and practical delivery that turn local priorities into visible improvements.
We're growing our team and are looking for a Projects Manager who can bring shape, clarity and steady coordination to this work. Someone who can take an agreed idea, help define its scope, organise the moving parts and keep partners aligned so progress is clear and well-managed. The programme is varied and hands-on: one day you might be progressing town centre signage within Harrogate's brand guidelines; the next, overseeing a demographics data project that will strengthen community-focused decision-making; or shaping early scoping work to repair and renovate the Stray Changing Rooms, working closely with North Yorkshire Council.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll produce structured reports that explain progress, surface issues early and offer practical recommendations so councillors can make confident, well-informed decisions. You'll work constructively with a diverse range of stakeholders, helping align activity and maintain clarity so momentum is supported where progress depends on external partners and principal authorities. Above all, you'll help ensure delivery feels organised, transparent and rooted in Harrogate's identity.
What you'll bring
We're looking for someone with a recognised project management qualification, strong organisational skills and solid experience delivering projects in public-facing, voluntary, community or partnership-based settings. You'll bring structure, drive and a practical mindset; able to shape delivery, solve problems and work confidently with councillors, contractors and community partners.
