Head of City Office

4 days ago

Bristol, United Kingdom Bristol City Council Full time

**Full Time, Fixed Term for 12 months.**

This is an exciting position leading Bristol’s award-winning City Office team to coordinate and catalyse Bristol’s One City Partnership.

Many forces are shaping Bristol’s path as a city, including national government policy, migration, trade, markets, conflict and climate change. Meanwhile specific challenges such as an ageing population, social inequality, and unsustainable resource consumption demand a rapid response. The One City Approach is Bristol’s response.

We are looking for a dynamic and delivery focused individual to lead the City Office during the next phase of the One City Approach.

As Head of City Office you will be the lead officer for the One City Approach, responsible for the City Office service, managing the most senior internal and external stakeholder relationships, raising funding and negotiating in-kind contributions, developing strategy (including responsibility for the One City Plan) and overseeing City Office support and delivery of key projects and priorities within the One City Plan.

You will work with the council’s most senior political leaders and officers, and their counterparts at major anchor institutions in the city, to help set strategic direction for One City and ensure it is enacted in practice, whether directly through the City Office or by convening and catalysing other partners and resources.

**Why Bristol City Council?**

At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation. For the majority of our roles hybrid working arrangements are available, giving teams the opportunity to work in a way that suits them, balancing service need and individual choice - mixing both home and office working.

Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards package membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance. In addition, you’ll be working in a supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.

**How do I apply?**

**For permanent Bristol City Council employees, this post will be a secondment.**

**For employees who are currently on a fixed term contract with Bristol City Council, the secondment must not extend beyond the end of the fixed term period to ensure there is a substantive post to return to.**

**If you are currently a casual worker or a member of an employment agency (currently working with Bristol City Council) this post will be a fixed term contract.**

**Interviews will take place the week commencing 29 May.**
