Full Description

Interesting opportunity to take on the role of Service Development Manager (Great Estates) working for a Local Authority in South London

You will lead and commission a range of projects to support the Great Estates programme. The project scope is wide and varied and covers areas including:

• physical improvements to the estate;
• landscape and gardening;
• projects to improve social integration;
• health and wellbeing;
• art and culture; and
• initiatives to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

It’s unlikely we will find someone with experience across all of these specific areas but if you are an established Local Authority project manager with experience in some of the areas mentioned then this role may appeal to you.

Essentially, we are looking for someone who can ensure that effective performance management and outcome measurement systems are in place for all work-streams and projects, including associated finances, risks and issues.

The initial contract will be 3-6 months with scope to extend.

3 days on site/office (close to London Bridge). 2 days home working.

The day rate is £450/day (inside IR35).
