Working with all of our bus operating companies, community transport, and other stakeholders we want to build a smart, integrated network of public transport, driven by data, with the goal of increasing patronage across the county. A county where buses are connected to rail, and market towns are frequently and reliably connected to the city. Where rural areas are not missing from the network and where buses are used by everyone.

It's a big goal and we need a motivated, dynamic manager to lead it.

If you are enthusiastic about building your career and building a new era of public transport then this could be the role for you. You need to understand local authorities and be comfortable working with elected members as well as officers, and you’ll need to work to raise the profile of public transport with your colleagues across the whole client as well as the rest of the county.

You would be expected to undertake supervision, professional development and support of your staff, whilst also building a team, therefore demonstrable people and leadership attributes will definitely be needed. You will be working with internal colleagues, external partners and other providers to co-ordinate and manage various projects in these service areas so skills in partnership and relationship management, project management and working across organisations are essential.

Benefits:

A competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement, and access to our contributory pension and staff benefits scheme, which includes:

• Pension Scheme Enrolment in the Local Government (LGPS)
• Generous Annual Leave: 31 days’ annual leave (pro rata) plus bank holidays. You can also purchase an additional 10 days per annum
• Flexible working: flexi-time, job-share, part-time hours and, in some instances, home working
• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 access to support and counselling
• Payment of professional membership fees
• Pick your perks – our benefits include access to a range of retail, leisure, holiday and health benefits. This includes savings, cash back and discounts.
