We have an exciting opportunity for a Service Lead – Policy, Performance and Delivery to join us!
Can you shape policy and strategy – using an evidence-based approach to identify emerging and future policy issues affecting the council, at both an exciting and challenging time for local government? Do you have experience of managing a corporate function – developing complex strategies and reporting on their delivery? If so, then we want to hear from you!
This is a full-time, permanent role with hybrid working, and a salary of £59,961 to £65,471 per annum.
About us:
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) is set in the wider county of Berkshire, one of the most economically productive and innovative areas of the country. The borough council – a unitary authority - takes pride in its exceptional team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to the community. RBWM is a unique borough, with huge opportunity given its proximity to London and expanding business sectors, as well as being a major cultural and tourism area which includes international attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse.
Given our royal connections, the eyes of the world are often on us and we continue to rise to the challenge.
The Role:
You will play a leadership role in the council’s Strategy, Policy and Performance team to support key council priorities, projects and services. With a focus on developing effective relationship across the organisation to drive policy and report on its performance, your role will involve:
Supporting and strengthening effective planning, oversight and delivery of the council’s strategic and transformation agenda
Embedding effective performance management across the organisation - enabling effective governance and decision-making.
Overseeing the development and delivery of the Council Plan and its underpinning strategies, working closely with colleagues across service areas to strengthen strategic and business planning.
Supporting the development of new policy, programmes and services on identified high priority areas, including through data, insights and analysis.
Monitoring government policy and initiatives impacting on local government to inform and enable appropriate strategic implications to be considered by the organisation.
Play an active role in the directorate’s management team, contributing to the service’s direction and the successful achievement of the council’s vision and priorities.
What we are looking for:
With a relevant degree or equivalent experience, you’ll also have experience of working in a similar role, in a local government or public sector, in a corporate function.
A proven track record of strategic planning, policy development and the implementation of performance management frameworks, along with the ability to advise senior management and elected members on strategy, policy and performance.
Strong experience and understanding of the use of a wide range of data, including numerical and demographic data sets, and able to add value to that data through the correct analysis and interpretation for a variety of strategic planning purposes.
Excellent communication and organisational skills, able to manage time effectively, meet tight deadlines, and thrive under pressure.
Proactive, organised, and able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
A good knowledge and understanding of issues facing local government and the wider public sector.
What we offer:
32 days annual leave
Flexible working including a hybrid working pattern for a better work-life balance.
Generous Local Government Pension scheme includes life cover (3 times of annual salary); and an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) scheme to enhance your pension provision.
Free employee parking close to the offices.
Give As You Earn scheme.
Instant Reward Scheme to recognise and reward innovative achievement.
Employee Assistance Programme providing counselling, advice and information.
Access to discounts and deals with hundreds of retailers, including discounted gym memberships and travel deals.
RBWM values a collaborative and inclusive work environment, fostering creativity and innovation in all aspects of its operations. As an equal opportunities’ employer, we encourage applications from all as we believe diverse talent makes us stronger.
If you have a disability, are a current or former member of the armed forces or have been part of any formal care system up to the age of 25, you will be guaranteed an interview, should you meet the minimum requirements for the role.
Closing date: Sunday 20 April 2025
