Public Practice is a social enterprise that aims to help built environment practitioners transition and flourish in public sector placemaking careers. We believe that: - the built environment is where the symptoms and solutions to society’s most complex challenges are played out. - the public sector is where an impactful change to the built environment can truly be made. - an interdisciplinary placemaking approach, with a diversity of thought, experience and skills required to deliver that change.

WHY WE ARE HIRING Public Practice is building a new movement to rediscover the potential of public planning and rethink the role of built environment expertise within local government. In just under two years since being founded, we have supported public authorities across London and the wider South East embed new skills into Authorities and helped promote the role of public planners more widely. The momentum we have generated means we are growing our team and exploring promising opportunities to expand our reach and impact. At this exciting time for the organisation, we are looking to appoint a Programme Coordinator to help develop and manage the systems needed to run our innovative programme that places diverse built environment practitioners within public sector organisations. THE ROLE Public Practice’s placement programme is at the core of what we do, and we want it to be at the forefront of practice in recruitment and resourcing. As our Programme Coordinator, you will join our small team and play a vital role in helping to develop and deliver it. You will be responsible for coordinating the programme from end-to-end, including recruitment, onboarding, support in placements, and offboarding data collection. Your work will include managing all the back-end systems required to process the large amount of information that each placement campaign collects, as well as communicating and coordinating within our team, applicants, our expert assessors and other external suppliers.

- LEAD OUR RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN: You will be responsible for the design and delivery of an industry-leading recruitment process - managing our marketing materials, systems for receiving applications and ensuring great communication with prospective candidates. - MANAGE APPLICATION DATA & ASSESSMENT : Coordinating between our expert assessors and our online applicant management software, you will ensure that the assessment of all applications is fair, transparent and timely, and placement data is appropriately captured and managed. - DELIVER OUR PLACEMENT WORKSHOPS: You will lead on the production of this complex event that sees applicants and assessors come together and undertake a number of exercises. You will ensure all materials are prepared, attendees confirmed and that the whole day runs smoothly. - COORDINATE THE ONBOARDING PROCESS: You will be responsible for ensuring the onboarding process works well for Authorities and Associates. You will help prepare materials to secure placements, issue agreements, help plan the induction days, and ensure everything is in place in time for the placement start date. - IN-PLACEMENT AND OFFBOARDING SUPPORT: During the placements, you will help to keep our systems up-to-date, support the team to deliver regular check-ins, and make sure that the overall experience of our Associates and Authority hosts remains high and constantly capturing feedback. - HELP SHAPE OUR PROCESSES & SYSTEMS: You’ll work collaboratively with the team to come up with ideas and strategies for ways to improve how we recruit, from finding efficiencies to regularly reviewing our diversity data to make sure we are leading the way in best practice in our recruitment processes.
