Brent is a large and diverse London Borough with an innovative council at its heart. We have recently embarked upon a bold and ambitious programme of change with the aim of creating a more effective, efficient and streamlined authority fit to occupy our new Civic Centre from 2013. This programme contains a set of initiatives which will make our One Council principles into a daily reality; that will remodel key statutory services to meet the expectations of service users; and will deliver sustainable regeneration and improvement in the quality of life experienced by all residents in Brent.

We are now establishing a One Council Support team to co-ordinate the programmes implementation across the organisation and are seeking to recruit experienced and skilled programme management professionals to take forward this exciting and challenging initiative.

Responsibilities

This role will focus on embedding sound project and programme management techniques across the council and sustaining the reporting arrangements that enable strategic governance and decision making. You will have a detailed knowledge of project and programme management techniques, be capable of provide training and support to our project managers located within service areas and be experienced in effective change management.
Salary

If you have the experience, vision, and drive to take forward our One Council programme and be part of a truly innovative council we want to hear from you.

Closing date: 12 February 2010.
