**The 100 Day Challenge**

At Trueman Change, our recruitment process is a little different. Instead of providing a person specification we like to lay down a challenge for you to respond to

The context:
Imagine we have a client who is a local authority with approximately 2000 staff. They have had to respond to COVID by becoming completely remote working, and now they are working through some options for how they might change how they work longer term. Theyare under financial pressures, with several million pounds to find in savings. They have got plenty of ideas, and have started some work but there isn’t much clarity in what they are delivering and how. We also need to understand the morale of their workforce,and get a feel for how ready for change they are. Their ideas are around closing offices, stopping statutory services and creating some shared services. In addition to the client work you’ll also be working with us to grow the business and your own network.

In your first 100 days at Trueman Change we would want to see:

- An excellent understanding of the client and the work they are doing
