About Us:

Lead key projects that improve the way we serve our communities

In Kensington and Chelsea, we put local people and local businesses at the heart of decision-making, working in partnership with them to provide quality services that are responsive, effective, and efficient. Following the Grenfell tragedy, we’re transforming many of our services, and have put in place a large number of improvement programmes across Environment & Neighbourhoods that focus on residents. We’re now expanding our team to ensure our ideas are put into action through effective project management.

The Role:

This is an opportunity to drive forward a wide range of initiatives that will have a positive impact on people’s day-to-day lives. You’ll provide vital project management advice and expertise, and ensure diverse projects and programmes get off the ground. That means everything from steering the formation project teams, to helping to develop goals and objectives, to tracking progress. It’s a fast-paced role that will see you working across all council departments and with a range of strategic partners. We’ll look to you to promote collaboration and break down barriers to ensure results are achieved. You’ll report back regularly at our Environment & Neighbourhoods Director team meetings.

About You:

You’ll have a busy workload from day one, so experience in project management is vital, along with plenty of initiative and self-confidence. A competent multi-tasker, focused on results, you’ll be capable of driving multiple projects. You’ll also be comfortable working across different technology platforms and tools. Exceptional communication skills, both in person and in writing, are vital to your success. You must be able to deal persuasively with people covering a wide spectrum of interests, from senior management and council members to contractors and community leaders. While a public sector background is not essential, you’ll need some insight into the challenges and opportunities of working for a high-profile local authority.

In return, you can look forward to a package that includes a competitive salary, a high-quality pension scheme and generous annual leave plus bank holidays.
