As one of the largest employers in Sheffield, with over 7,000 employees, we aim to recruit and develop people who share our passion for Sheffield. If you work for us, you will be part of a team that provides a huge range of services to our 574,000 residents, businesses large and small, as well as to our many visitors to the city.
The Service Manager – City Centre Resources is an exciting opportunity for you to lead and develop a new approach to managing our City Centre as it develops and regenerates. We have ambitious plans for our city centre, which will transform the contribution it makes regionally and nationally. Our vision is for a well-connected, high-profile city centre with a quality environment that supports business, employment, residential, and cultural opportunities. The recently completed £470m Heart of The City II development is the beating heart of the city's regeneration, comprising a celebration of heritage buildings alongside brand new contemporary buildings, including the award-winning Cambridge Street Collective, Europe’s largest food hall, and Pound’s Park, an urban family space for children to play and families to relax.
In Sheffield, we want everyone to enjoy living, working, and visiting our city centre. In the city centre management team, we manage high-quality public realm areas, attracting and delivering a range of events, promotions, and activities to engage visitors and residents alike. We work closely with other partners and stakeholders to ensure our city centre is a clean, safe, and welcoming environment in the daytime, as well as for our nighttime economy.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced professional with a background in place management, excellent stakeholder management skills, and the ability to lead partners, the voluntary sector, and other key stakeholders to deliver joined-up services focused on the needs of our local communities.
We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate innovation in creating new approaches to managing our developing city centre and work with our partners to deliver improvements across a range of services in the city centre.
You will directly manage a team already delivering place management in the city centre, including the City Centre Ambassadors. You will create a ‘Team around the Place’ approach through excellent leadership and negotiation skills, working with services such as Highways, Waste, Local Area Committees, Parks, Housing, South Yorkshire Police, and volunteering groups.
So, if you are a strategic thinker who can work with partners and stakeholders to develop and deliver new ways of working to get the best for our city centre, then we look forward to receiving your application.
