Description

The Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced resource to provide client-side project implementation and delivery support related to key cultural-led regeneration projects within Kettering, notably:
a) GLaM (Alfred East Art Gallery, Library and Manor House Museum). This project is entering the final due diligence stage having secured £3m from the Getting Building Fund. Total project value is £3.94m and will deliver transformational capital works across the cluster of buildings, to be completed by March 2022. A lead project manager and associated consultants have been procured and are currently delivering against a tight timeline; and
b) High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ). Earlier this year Kettering secured funding from Historic England to deliver Kettering High Street Heritage Action Zone, this project worth £4.3m will deliver capital improvements to our historic High Street. Client-side project management and associated consultants have all been appointed and are currently delivering against a 4 year programme.

To ensure the relevant capacity and specialist resource is in place to support the client-side delivery and implementation of these projects the Council is commissioning an additional resource to support in this endeavour.

The resource will work closely with service leads, GLaM and HSHAZ project managers to ensure service needs are met and knitted together across both projects. The expectation is this resource will act of the main point of contact for GLaM within the Council and facilitate the client-side needs accordingly to ensure timescales are met. Additionally, this resource will support the HSHAZ project manager by acting as lead facilitator for the Cultural Consortium which will involve engaging and coordinating the cultural consortium, leading the design and programming for a funding application, as well as, facilitating the delivery implementation should this funding application be successful.
