A Programmes Facilitator plays a vital role in ensuring that the day-to-day operations of our programmes of delivery run smoothly. We are looking for a passionate individual with experience of enabling effectiveness across our operations.

At Pennine GP Alliance (PGA), we are committed to fair, transparent, and person-led recruitment. While we use digital tools to support our recruitment processes, we want to be clear that no shortlisting or hiring decisions are made solely by artificial intelligence (AI).

We understand that AI can be a useful tool for applicants when preparing applications; however, your submission must represent your own experience, achievements, and professional perspective. Applications that appear to be entirely written by AI may not be considered. We encourage candidates to use AI responsibly - as a support tool, not a replacement for your own insight and input.
