The Role

Working in partnership with the D2N2 Growth Hub, The Derbyshire Business Advice Service will deliver extended business support services across the county of Derbyshire (excluding Derby city) focusing on helping our businesses grow, improve productivity, trade globally and create new jobs. Running until March 2022, the project is part funded by ERDF and Derbyshire County Council and delivered through the Derbyshire Economic Partnership (DEP).

The DEP Business Advisor will play a pivotal role in supporting growth by providing direct support to primarily SMEs across a range of sectors. The post holder will provide a key link with the D2N2 Growth Hub helping deliver a seamless service for business clients across the county. As part of the DEP team hosted by the County Council, the post will also play a key role in advising and developing key DEP services for economic development including a new investor development service. Applicants should be able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the needs of businesses with substantial experience of account management and delivery of high quality business advice to SMEs.
