Summary
Following a transformative restructuring programme, we are looking to recruit to several senior roles. Focusing on being resident centric, commercially minded, data and performance driven we hope to position ourselves as the best Council in the East Midlands growing an environment where residents enjoy the lifestyle they deserve, in a place they are proud of.
We value experience and talent, but we are lean and have no space for passengers. You will need to be hungry to get stuck into the projects that we have and be a visible presence within the workplace.
About the role
You will support the Director of Transformation in shaping and delivering a programme of organisational transformation to help us to become an even more customer focused organisation through, digitally enabled processes, improved data insights and a digitally skilled workforce.
You will deliver a programme of change as set out in our new Digital, Data and Technology Strategy, provide strategic leadership across digital change projects and work closely with other senior managers to ensure the conditions for successful transformation delivery are enabled across the Council.
An ability to establish and maintain appropriate arrangements to mitigate risk and meet the local and national ICT security agendas, and the Council's ICT business continuity arrangements is key.
A fuller description of the role (job description and person specification) is attached. For further information, please contact andrea.snodin@gedling.gov.uk
About the Council
You might not have heard of Gedling Borough Council. But if you haven’t, we would be disappointed, and you really should look at the work that we are doing.
Relevant to this post we are actively and vigorously pursuing our list of ambitious major projects including consideration of how we might best continue to deliver environmental, leisure and community services to ensure that our residents can enjoy good physical and mental health; the continued provision of excellent parks and recreational spaces for local people to enjoy; and the on-going work to ensure that our neighbourhoods are safe, modern, clean, healthy and vibrant places to live and work. The list goes on, but you get the idea.
Gedling is an attractive place to live and work, and the Council offices are situated in an award-winning park within easy reach of Nottingham City Centre and rural Nottinghamshire.
