Job Description
Peer collaborative improvement (PCI) is a critical component of Scottish local government’s sector-led improvement model, with self-assessment and the Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF) as key cornerstones of this approach. Peer collaborative improvement is designed to support performance improvement in areas of local authority activity and services that have been identified as needing further improvement.
The purpose of this role is to work collaboratively in a key project manager role to help deliver tangible and sustained improvements across the public sector through supporting the work of the Peer Collaborative Improvement programme.
The project manager will undertake a wide range of activities to support the development and roll-out of peer collaborative improvement across Scottish local government. A key focus will be to ensure that the process delivers benefits for the councils taking part, including both host and peer reviewer authorities. The post holder will also help capture learning, good practice and national recommendations which are identified during the process to deliver benefit for the wider local government sector.
