Job Summary Background and the Main Purpose of the Job The Strule Shared Educational Campus is due to open in September 2028 which will mean the five post-primary schools in Omagh town centre will relocate to the new campus site on the Gortin Road. This relocation will result in five strategically located sites in the town centre becoming vacant sites. To address the impact of these changes on Omagh town centre, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council will shortly engage a consultant to develop a Omagh Town Centre Action Plan.

The Action Plan is due to be completed in the first quarter of 2027. All actions included in the Action Plan will support the implementation of the Omagh Place Shaping Plan 2035. The postholder will be responsible for the management and coordination of the delivery of the actions included in the Omagh Town Centre Action Plan. The aim of the Plan is to develop a prioritised programme of interventions for Omagh Town Centre that can be delivered in the next five years.

A town centre Steering Group made up of traders and Omagh town Councillors has been established to oversee the development and implementation of the Action Plan. Alongside this the Council is consulting with local businesses and other relevant stakeholders in Omagh regarding the development of a Business Improvement District (BID) for the town centre. If a BID is successful, the Co-ordinator will be expected to work closely together with the BID Manager to improve the economic and physical infrastructure of Omagh town centre.

The role of the co-ordinator will be to build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders including local traders, funders, statutory agencies and residents to ensure the delivery of the Omagh Centre Action Plan. Actions are likely to include the delivery of projects aimed at revitalising the town centre and making the town centre more attractive and sustainable in the longer term.

The post is funded by the Department for the Economy (DfE) under the Regional Balance Fund and will support the delivery of the priorities included in the Fermanagh and Omagh Local Economic Partnership (LEP) Action Plan.
