Bristol City Council is looking for someone with excellent organisational and communication skills, to help manage its relationships with the companies which it has established and owns.

These include Bristol Waste Company, Goram Homes and other joint ventures, including City Leap.

These businesses are an exciting area of council business and are a new and innovative way of helping the city to generate income, deliver waste and facilities management services, new homes and work towards Bristol’s ambition of becoming carbon neutral.

You’ll work with the Council and the Companies top leadership teams, get to understand and support them with the information they need, to make the best decisions possible for the benefit of the city’s residents.

Key Tasks Will Include:

• Keeping track of the major issues of the day, scheduling decision approval pathways and meetings, drafting meeting agenda’s, briefing presentations and reports for the Council’s Chief Executive, Leader and Councillor Committee members, to support them to make informed decisions about the Councils shareholdings in the companies.
• Engaging with the Managing Directors and Finance Directors, and other colleagues within the Council’s companies to arrange them to present their performance reports and business plans to the Council, and to share information, and make collaborative connections to improve how collectively the Council and the Companies operate and work together.
• Take high quality minutes, maintaining accurate records about the companies, and produce, share and publish on the council’s website and intranet, effective communications materials to help colleagues and members of the public to see transparently how Bristol City Council manages its shareholdings in its companies.
• Coordinate small project teams made up of colleagues across the organisation (for example, in legal or finance), to deliver key pieces of work - this may include conducting research, writing reports and other documentation, and maintaining oversight of the delivery key work packages by project team members.
  
  

On a daily basis, you will be working in a small team reporting to the Shareholder Liaison Manager (performed as a jobshare), juggling a number of different deadlines and priorities, and getting to know and understand about the very diverse and interesting companies the council has established.

You will require excellent organisational skills and the ability to communicate complex material effectively to a wide range of audiences, dealing with a number of different stakeholders at different levels and within different sectors. Furthermore, you will be a flexible person, adept at handling the kind of problems that often arise in a fast changing, dynamic environment.

You are also prohibited from canvassing on behalf of a political party or a person who is or seeks to be a candidate and from speaking to the public at large or publishing any written or artistic work that could give the impression that they are advocating support for a political party.
