Description

Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
***
We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the city.**Redbridge Council is stepping into a new era boldly. Our Corporate Plan is focused on delivering social transformation in terms of eradicating child poverty in the borough and organisational change as we implement a new model of service delivery through our five community hubs. This will require close and accurate monitoring of our progress, intelligent and actionable insights and a programmatic approach to delivering that change. In order to achieve this we have established the Intelligence, Insights and Change team within the Strategy Directorate.


You will possess the technical programme management skills and the demeanour to conduct deep dives in areas that require rapid turnarounds.

This will require agility and the ability to lead matrix teams, ensuring the correct mix of skills are identified and the team works effectively to deliver suitable, feasible and acceptable solutions to issues encountered.

You will be expected to bring fresh thinking to this area, while working with the recently adopted methods.

You will lead a unit comprising specialist technical staff and support staff.

We are particularly keen to appoint someone who will bring strategic thinking to this role, develop strong relationships across the organisation and expand the learning and value of these functions.

You must be a strong team player both within this team and with other parts of the organisation. You will be an excellent leader - leading your individual unit and also from time-to-time matrix teams. Your style is less important than your effectiveness.

You will have a team of 4 and will be reporting to the Head of Intelligence, Insights and Change.


The roles will be available for 12 months in the first instance, with a view to extending the term as per need.
