You’d be collaborating with services, residents, and partners to design innovative delivery models, drive transformative change, and improve outcomes for Manchester’s people. Our approach is rooted in the "Our Manchester" behaviours, trauma-informed practice, and co-production, aiming to maximise resources, unlock potential, and support collaborative work.
We also lead innovation and delivery of the Council’s Corporate Planning, Governance and Assurance arrangements, enabling the Council to continuously improve.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive, creative, and welcoming team that values collaboration. We foster a high-trust culture and actively support personal development and career progression through various opportunities, including apprenticeships, training, coaching, conferences, networking, volunteering, and more.
Ready to make a difference? Join us and be part of something truly impactful!
