Are you driven by the opportunity to make a difference and improve outcomes for our citizens?

Staffordshire is a county with big ambitions, great connections and greener living, and is ambitious for the communities and citizens it serves.

Working in the strategic centre of the organisation, the Strategy and Transformation service plays a critical role in directly shaping Staffordshire’s vision and priorities. We are committed to creating a supportive working environment where all employees can achieve their full potential and achieve a healthy work-life balance. We’re proud to offer family friendly policies, a range of benefits, including generous holiday entitlement, flexible working and employee discounted schemes. Further detail on the benefits we offer can be found below.

For the opportunity to help shape Staffordshire for generations to come, join us, and have an impact you can be truly proud of. If you’re passionate about driving forward sustainable change and enjoy working in a fast paced environment, then we’d love to hear from you!

About the Change Team:

As a local authority we are constantly looking at how we change, transform and improve our public services to deliver the greatest value for the citizens of Staffordshire. The Change Team is a well-established and valued team of specialist change practitioners that supports senior leaders and partners to shape and deliver complex change projects and programmes for the organisation.

We have recently expanded our team and are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our vibrant, fast paced and supportive team. You will be a focused and dynamic individual with the ability to work across the council with stakeholders at all levels.

What skills and experience do you need to have?

  • A desire to help people improve the way that they work
  • A positive “can do” attitude with an ability to motivate others
  • The ability to work collaboratively with others and to be open, friendly, and flexible
  • Confidence to work under pressure and manage several tasks simultaneously.
  • Desire and commitment to develop yourself and to seize opportunities to push yourself further

These roles are suited to people who are naturally curious – big picture thinkers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, perfect for graduates looking for that first step in the public sector, or for professionals looking to explore a new career path. If you enjoy analysing, managing and influencing, whether that’s information or people, and you like to challenge thinking and the way things are done, this route could be a good match for you.

If this sounds like a good match to your skills, we look forward to hearing from you. In return we can offer you an exciting and diverse role which is rewarded with a competitive salary & benefits package and gives you access to professional development in a large, dynamic and supportive change team.

Benefits for working for us….

In addition to your salary, as a member of staff, you will have access to a range of benefits including:

  • An excellent local government pension scheme
  • Generous holiday entitlement from 24 up to 33 days (plus 2 extra statutory days and bank holidays) depending on job role and length of service
  • The option to buy up to an additional 2 weeks annual leave
  • A range of flexible working options, depending on your job role, which includes agile working, flexible retirement
