Programme Manager - Ref: RT61519
£44,190 - £49,448 per annum
Walsall Council is transforming how it works. Developing technologies, customer expectations and external budget pressures mean we need to modernise and rethink how we deliver our services.
Our commitment to change runs through every level of our organisation, leading the way forward is our Chief Executive, Helen Paterson. The programme we are building is far reaching and council wide, and this is an excellent opportunity to be part of it.
Over recent months we have worked to establish an ambitious Council wide programme of change named the Walsall Proud Programme.
Now we need YOU!
We are recruiting a Programme Manager to join our Corporate Transformation Team, tasked with delivering services fit for the future.
You will know from experience that change isn’t always easy, but it is interesting, involved and challenging so applicants will need to have the right skills and experience, from across a wide range of services ideally within the Public Sector to be successful.
This is an opportunity to shape the future.
If you’re ready for the challenge, we’re ready to hear from you!
