Jobs

We are looking for a tourism professional, with great project management skills, to join us as we lead on the South Yorkshire Local Visitor Economy Partnership (SYLVEP).  

Sheffield City Council is recognised by Visit England, the national tourism agency, as the lead authority for South Yorkshire on this national project.   We work with tourism leads across the four South Yorkshire local authorities, and with South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority.   

You’ll focus on managing the growth plan for the SYLVEP and contribute to the delivery of the South Yorkshire Destination Management Plan. 

The work of the SYLVEP contributes to the development of national tourism strategy and your report writing, presentation and communication skills will be key to getting South  Yorkshire’s messages in front of the right people across the region. 

The SYLVEP isn’t about marketing (that will remain the responsibility of the individual partners), it is about supporting visitor economy businesses – tourism, culture, events, hospitality and many, many more - to grow; connecting them to national initiatives; finding the regional commonalities and turning them into opportunities to create a stronger visitor economy.    In short, supporting the development of the  visitor economy and helping to make it market ready. 

If you can demonstrate a knowledge of the tourism industry, are great at multi-tasking and meeting deadlines, we want to hear from you.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.

If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.
