Job Introduction
Programme Facilitator (Pride in Place)
Salary: PO6 per annum
Fixed Term Contract
Based in Bradford
Help Shape the Future of Some of Bradford's Most Important Communities
Bradford is proud to be one of the Government's selected Pride in Place areas, securing significant long-term investment to support community-led regeneration, improve neighbourhoods and create lasting change for residents.
We are looking for an exceptional Programme Facilitator to help drive this ambitious programme forward across Bradford East and Bradford South, working alongside residents, partners, elected members and key stakeholders to ensure local people are at the heart of decision-making.
This is not a traditional programme management role. It is a unique opportunity to act as the bridge between communities, public services, elected representatives and delivery partners, helping turn local ambition into visible action and lasting impact.
About The Role
You will play a pivotal role in supporting the development and delivery of Bradford's Pride in Place programme, helping create stronger, safer and more connected neighbourhoods.
Working closely with the MPs' Offices for Bradford East and Bradford South, local community organisations, businesses and public sector partners, you will help ensure local priorities are identified, developed and translated into successful projects and investment plans.
A key part of your role will be supporting and facilitating the work of a strong, independent Neighbourhood Board, led by two highly respected and experienced Chairs with deep roots in their communities and a shared commitment to empowering local people.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
