Description

On behalf of the NP11 (Northern Powerhouse 11) group of Local Enterprise Partnerships, the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership is seeking to procure capacity to support the development and delivery of NP11's policy and evidence programme.

Initial thinking is for a senior individual contracted for 24 hours per week, embedded within the NP11 team, with additional support aligned with the project objectives (see below) as required; however, we are open to alternative arrangements that add value. The contract is expected to complete by 30th September 2023.

Working closely with the thematic and workstream leads, activity will include supporting the development and delivery of the NP11's Northern Evidence Network; provide policy input required to meet the needs of the NP11, Northern LEPs and partners; develop and deliver responses to various calls for evidence; support the delivery of commissioned policy activity; and some administrative support for the secretariat function of NP11.
