Love seeing big ideas come to life? Passionate about creating spaces where children thrive? Join our ambitious Early Years team and lead exciting projects that will shape the future of childcare across the borough. We’re looking for a vibrant, organised and motivated Capital Programme Officer to join our passionate Early Years and Childcare Team. This is your chance to be part of something meaningful — delivering capital projects that make a real, tangible difference to children and families across Blaenau Gwent. From supporting major developments to improving and expanding much-loved community childcare spaces, you’ll be central to helping us give every child the best possible start in life.
About the role
As Capital Programme Officer, you’ll take the lead on developing, planning, and delivering a range of exciting projects across the Early Years and Childcare landscape. Whether it’s upgrading Flying Start Hubs, expanding existing childcare settings, or creating entirely new provision in response to local needs — you’ll be in the driving seat from start to finish.

From producing detailed project schedules to monitoring budgets and reporting back to Welsh Government, this is a varied, fast-moving role with lots of responsibility — but also lots of support.
This isn’t a role where you’ll be stuck behind a desk. You’ll be out and about, working with communities, consulting with stakeholders, liaising with contractors and helping turn funding bids into beautiful, functional spaces that support early learning and development. You’ll be supported by an experienced, close-knit team — and you’ll be encouraged to bring your own flair and creativity to the table.

You’re someone who sees opportunities where others see obstacles. You’re a strong communicator, a great collaborator, and someone who’s not afraid to take the initiative. You’ll need to be comfortable with both the bigger picture and the finer details — whether that’s shaping strategic project plans or chasing up the final tweaks before a grand opening. Most importantly, you care about making a difference. You want your work to mean something. And you’re excited about joining a team that’s truly committed to giving every child the best start in life.
