Swindon, United Kingdom Swindon Borough Council Full time
At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

We are bold and ambitious in our plans, with a clear vision and direction for the future. Our status as one of the UK’s fastest growing towns is driving transformational change across our organisation, most significantly within our highly valued Adults’ Services teams.

Expanding, Strengthening, Transforming

We have a clear vision of what we want the future to look like. The success of our vision depends on working alongside residents with a strength-based approach, enabling people to remain independent in their own homes as well as ensuring that we provide effective and efficient services to those who need us most.

We seek to evaluate what we do as a service, identify and consolidate strengths, address weakness and learn as a service in order to improve what we offer and deliver to residents with Care and Support needs.

Cultural change

We want to build on a service that works for everyone, which evolves and is continually refined and based on reflection and learning. Its focus is community led support, and practice that is strength based, to enable people to live with as much independence as possible.

The Corporate Projects team, working into the Adult Commissioning Team, are a friendly, supportive team, where opportunities for cross skilling and personal development are actively encouraged. There has never been a better time to join our Project Management team to take an active role in supporting the Business in achieving its Transformational goals.

Our aim is to work in partnership with the organisation to support the Council’s key strategic and complex projects ensuring that each project delivers the predicted benefits on time and within budget, generating exceptional value to the Council. 

Your next role

As a Project Manager, within a hardworking, fast-paced and diverse team you will have the scope to be involved in a varied portfolio of projects across the whole organisation.

You must have a proven track record of delivering and supporting complex projects and programmes, and be able to demonstrate the use of robust project management methodologies and tools to support project delivery through transformational change and how you positively supported this change.

It’s imperative that you show how you establish and maintain working relationships at all levels of the organisation, whilst demonstrating excellent people skills to drive project delivery which support in achieving our organisational outcomes.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark in a challenging role, allowing you to bring your project management skills and experience to an organisation that really makes a difference to the lives of the residents of Swindon.

Please note that there is a requirement to come into the Swindon office two days per week, the team all work in the office on a Thursday.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

Your next package

Please see our offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
