Here's an opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting people through change and experienced in the broad application of change management, to realise benefits for individuals and the organisation - sound like you?

We are on the exciting journey of changing and improving so that we can meet the current and future needs of all citizens, customers and staff.  This includes making sure we have the right team to help our people adopt new ways of working with digital tools.  We value people who make their voices heard, can look at things in new and interesting ways, and come up with fresh and creative ideas and thinking.

The role of Change Lead supports Digital project implementation by undertaking change management work such as:

• Planning and supporting the implementation of business change plans
• Defining the impact of change on processes, information management, systems, technology, services and people
• Engaging with leaders and key stakeholders to help people prepare for and lead change effectively within their areas of influence
• Ensuring the success of employee adoption of the change, by using best practice organisational change management frameworks and tools to embed the change as business as usual for our people

About you | Ko Koe Tēnei

This role works within our large and diverse Digital Unit and collaborates across the various Council business units. Ideally, our Change Leads have:
