INTERNAL VACANCY
Do you have the drive to change how we operate, improving resident experience by making it easier and quicker to get the right things done?
Local authorities have never been more needed, yet decades of under funding are creating a huge gap between what's needed and what's possible.
We need to change how we operate, which means making the best use of all the opportunities around us. With a dedicated workforce, strong and committed partners and shared ambitions for the city, to survive we must change how we operate to become the next generation of local authorities
This role will rethink entire systems, break through barriers and draw on the collective wisdom of residents, communities and partners to make us more efficient, more effective and more focused on what matters to residents, whilst having the structure and programme management discipline to make change happen.
If you think you have the drive, resourcefulness and commitment to transform City of York Council, setting us on a path that will rip up traditional delivery methods to create new partnerships and operating models that take us on a journey of transformative change, we want to hear from you.
This role is suitable as a job share opportunity.
Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.
The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
