Sandwell’s story is one of potential and striving to realise the ambitions of our borough, our residents and communities. We have been through a period of significant challenge including government intervention, but through determination and our drive for excellence, we look to the future with pride and a sense of purpose. While we have come so far, there is more to do; breaking down silos, embedding our values across the organisation, and ensuring that we continue to transform to deliver the best services for our residents.

At Sandwell Council, we are modernising how we work and how we serve our communities, and organisational development is at the heart of this transformation. As Head of Organisational Development, you’ll lead the design and delivery of an innovative OD strategy that goes beyond learning programmes, focusing on creating a culture of performance, customer, accountability and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and delivery of an innovative OD strategy that goes beyond learning programmes, focusing on creating a culture of performance, customer, accountability and continuous improvement.
• Work closely with senior leaders to align organisational development with our corporate ambition to be an outstanding council.
• Champion change, foster collaboration and embed outcomes and impact focused approach to working across the council.
• From leadership development to talent management, lead initiatives that empower colleagues and leaders across the organisation, strengthening our council for the future.

Qualifications and experience

• Energy and vision with a proven track record in organisational development.
• Experience of driving cultural change and building leadership capability.
• Track record of delivering OD strategies that make a measurable impact.
