Discover Northamptonshire - Culture Officer, North Northamptonshire Council

North Northamptonshire Council is seeking a passionate, collaborative Discover Northamptonshire Officer - Culture to support the delivery of our ambitious Cultural Masterplan and Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) priorities.

North Northamptonshire is home to a rich, diverse landscape of arts and cultural organisations, creative freelancers, independent artists, heritage sites, tourism businesses, and vibrant communities. The Culture, Tourism and Heritage service exists to champion these assets-ensuring creativity, heritage, and place-making lie at the heart of local well-being, community pride, and sustainable economic growth.

While this post is based at the Discover Northamptonshire Hub at Rushden Lakes, it is an active, outward-facing role focused on project delivery, partner collaboration, and sector engagement right across North Northamptonshire. Rather than managing a single venue or fixed program, this role acts as a supportive link across our towns and communities-working directly with independent artists, cultural organisations, freelancers, and local businesses to co-design inclusive activity, support sector growth, and deliver flagship events.

This post plays a key role in bringing together local authority priorities, LVEP strategic goals, and local partners. Working across culture, heritage, tourism, and community sectors, you will help co-design engaging programming, facilitate partner networks, coordinate flagship events (such as Northamptonshire Day, Diwali Festival, and the annual LVEP Conference), and ensure authentic creative and local voices shape North Northamptonshire's identity, towns, and public spaces.

If you are motivated by making places better, empowering local creative talent, and ensuring culture and heritage genuinely enrich people's lives across North Northamptonshire, we would love to hear from you.
