Are you someone who is good at planning, organising and working with a wide variety of people? Would you like to work at the heart of transformational change in North Yorkshire Council - an organisation that is continually looking to improve how it operates its services for the benefit of local people, communities and businesses? Do you have transferable skills and a drive to progress your career in project management?
Our Team
Here at North Yorkshire Council, our Transformation Department works across the whole organisation to support the development of excellent services following local government re-organisation. We enable the diverse areas of council business to provide new or improved efficiency and effectiveness, which in turn delivers better customer experiences, cost savings and continuous improvement of services. The Projects and Programmes Service is at the heart of delivering exciting transformational change using defined methodologies. We work collaboratively with a wide range of colleagues at all levels across NYC and partner organisations to define and deliver project and programme goals within agreed parameters. No two projects or programmes are ever the same, but behind each one is a skilled professional driving delivery to achieve the service’s transformational ambitions, embed change and deliver benefits.
We currently have exciting opportunities for enthusiastic Project Managers to join our team as we prepare to deliver the next phase of transformation in North Yorkshire.
The Role
As part of the team, you will manage the planning and delivery of key projects for North Yorkshire Council’s vital local services which may include Children’s or Adult’s Social Care, Housing and Leisure, or our corporate services such as HR, Finance and Technology. You will work with diverse stakeholders, including employees, customers, and third parties, to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality. This is a career-graded role, allowing for growth and progression through salary bands based on experience and achievement. The role offers exciting opportunities to manage a wide variety of projects while contributing to the council’s strategic goals and working within a supportive and ambitious team.
What you will bring
To be successful in this role, you will need to have a good knowledge of project management processes and experience of applying these in practice. You will have strong transferable skills in areas such as planning, organising, communications, problem-solving and working with a wide range of stakeholders. A recognised professional qualification and/or equivalent experience of using project management methodologies is preferred but not essential. At the higher level of this post, you will have leadership skills and the ability to resolve issues in collaboration with others. For a detailed outline of the role, please see the attached job specification.
