Job Description & Person Specification >
This is a vital job in a special place.
The Head of IT Services is a keystone role within the Corporate Services directorate. Encompassing all of IT service delivery across the Council and its wholly owned companies, this role is wide in remit and fundamental to successful service delivery across all our operations.
Torbay is a glorious part of the UK. A magnet for tourists sitting on the beautiful Tor Bay and next to the stunning natural landscape of Dartmoor National Park. We benefit from a wonderfully mild climate making this a hugely attractive place to live and work. We are an agile unitary authority and you’ll soon discover this is a place where you can make things happen quickly. We have real momentum, with once in a generation investment taking place across our three towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. We have a shared sense of purpose and ambition and everyone who works here has the same thing in common - to see a healthy, happy and prosperous Torbay.
We are seeking a Head of IT Services to play a major role in shaping the future of our organisation and providing first class services to the communities we serve.
Whilst you will be able to demonstrate significant knowledge and understanding of IT delivery and the associated networks, applications and controls required by a high performing service, it’s equally important that you share our ambitions for Torbay. You will be key to building strong and meaningful relationships across the organisation and with key partners to ensure our IT service meets their needs and the needs of the communities we serve.
