• experience of delivering whole system improvements, bringing teams along with them as change is being implemented
• an understanding of compliance requirements within local government policies and procedures
• the ability to effectively prioritise high volumes of work and respond flexibly to competing priorities
• experience in business transformation projects is desirable
