Crynodeb
Our Digital Technology and Change (DTaC) is going through an exciting period of change within Reading Borough Council.

Reading is an ambitious Council and we have some great and varied programmes of work taking place at Council.
We seek the best talent from the widest pool of people as diversity and inclusion is the key to our success. Reading Borough Council is a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to the recruitment and continued employment of people with disabilities.
We are open to flexible working patterns and can provide a hybrid working environment which utilises the best of both worlds with a mix of office working in central Reading and homeworking according to the needs of the Service.

You will also help to lead, define and develop our change delivery methods for the council, taking into account developments in best practice and lessons learnt from our project delivery. This will include delivery of training, playing a coaching and mentoring role in the organisation.
You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place.
