About Us:

Help us to drive transformation and change at the Council with learning Grenfell at the centre of this change.

In Kensington and Chelsea, we put residents and communities at the heart of decision-making, working in partnership with them to provide quality services that are responsive, effective and efficient. We are committed to embedding lessons from the Grenfell tragedy and using these to drive the wider transformation of the council and its services. Against the backdrop of an increasingly challenging financial environment, it is more important than ever that we put people at the heart our decisions, and that we use the resources available in the most effective way.

The Role:

This is a vital role that will help us deliver the Council's key priorities and drive meaningful change. Taking ownership of major Council change and transformation work, you will get directly involved in leading teams across the organisation as you coordinate delivery of major change programmes and delivery of the Council Plan Action Plan.

Guiding a range of interesting transformation and savings projects within our Corporate Strategy team, you will drive opportunities forward, directly line-managing a small team and working with numerous stakeholders to ensure objectives are being achieved. Happy to roll your sleeves up and get involved in a range of initiatives, you will lead by example as you resolve issues that threaten to derail initiatives, and you will help us deliver organisational changes that will lead to better outcomes for residents.
