Jobs

Do you have experience of delivering a range of transformation, change and improvement projects? 

We are committed to improving outcomes for our residents by transforming how services are designed and delivered and are looking for an experienced Delivery Manager to join our Transformation Team. 

This is a fantastic opportunity if you thrive on leading change, working collaboratively across organisations, and delivering meaningful improvement in a public sector environment.

What’s the role all about? 

As a Delivery Manager in our Transformation Team, your role will be to turn ambition into action. You will lead transformation, change and improvement initiatives, helping to redesign services, improve outcomes and deliver better value for local people. 

You will act as the engine of delivery – bringing clarity to complex problems, creating momentum, and ensuring priorities are translated into practical plans, tangible outcomes and measurable benefits. Working closely with senior leaders, service teams and partners you will balance pace with quality, maintaining strong governance while keeping a clear focus on users, outcomes and long‑term sustainability. 

This is a hands-on role that blends leadership, problem-solving and collaboration. It’s not just about what is delivered, but how – modelling inclusive, agile ways of working, building confidence and capability in others, and supporting projects to transition successfully into business‑as‑usual. 

What will your day look like? 

No two days are the same in this role, but you can expect to lead and manage a diverse portfolio of transformation, change and improvement projects from initiation through to delivery. You will be responsible for ensuring projects deliver real, measurable benefits for residents and services, working in an agile and user‑centred way. This includes creating, leading and motivating multi‑disciplinary teams, as well as planning and managing timelines, milestones, resources and budgets to maintain momentum while ensuring appropriate quality and assurance. 

You will work closely with a range of stakeholders to shape effective solutions, remove barriers to delivery and keep projects on track. A key part of the role is identifying risks and issues early, putting proportionate mitigations in place and providing clear, honest reporting on progress and challenges. You will translate complex problems into clear, achievable plans that others can easily understand and engage with, while ensuring that project documentation, reporting and governance arrangements are robust, proportionate and fit for purpose. 

Who are we looking for? 

An experienced delivery or project professional who is confident working in complex organisational environments and able to navigate competing priorities. You will bring a strong track record of delivering service improvement or change projects, alongside experience of leading and coordinating project delivery teams. You’ll have a good understanding of a range of project management methodologies and, importantly, the judgement to know when and how to apply them effectively 

You will be an excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management skills, able to build trusting and productive relationships at all levels. You will have the confidence to break down complex, system‑wide issues and turn them into tangible actions and outcomes, adapting your communication style and language to suit different audiences. A key strength will be your ability to see the bigger picture and help others understand the wider context and impact of change. You’ll bring a collaborative and inclusive leadership style that empowers teams, supports continuous improvement, and demonstrates confidence in managing budgets while balancing cost, value and outcomes. 

Why join us? 

You’ll be joining an organisation that genuinely values its people and the ideas they bring.   

You’ll have the opportunity to work on high‑impact projects that make a real difference to local communities, helping to shape better services and outcomes for residents.  

You’ll be part of a supportive Transformation Team that champions collaboration, openness and continuous learning, creating an environment where people are encouraged to share ideas and work together to solve complex challenges. 

If you’re motivated by purposeful work and want to be part of a team shaping the future of local public services, we’d love to hear from you.
