An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Head of Delivery to join the Area-Wide Local Government Reorganisation Programme team.

Are you looking for a challenging and diverse role working as part of a collaborative, high-profile programme, with an opportunity to make a real difference for residents and communities across Hampshire and the Solent?

Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is a major government-led programme that is reshaping how local councils are structured and how public services are delivered. Across Hampshire and the Solent, 15 councils are working together to create new unitary authorities that will take responsibility for delivering local government services in the future.

The aim of LGR is to simplify local government structures, improve outcomes for residents, strengthen public services and create organisations that are financially sustainable for the future. By bringing services together within new unitary authorities, the programme seeks to improve efficiency, increase accountability and enable more integrated service delivery.

This is one of the largest and most complex transformation programmes ever undertaken in local government. It involves the redesign of services, governance arrangements, technology, finance, assets, people processes and organisational structures, whilst ensuring that critical services continue to operate safely and effectively throughout the transition.

The programme brings together colleagues from multiple councils and service areas to design and deliver the future operating arrangements needed for the new authorities. This includes planning for "Day 1" readiness, when the new organisations formally come into existence, as well as supporting longer-term transformation and service improvement.

Joining the LGR programme provides a unique opportunity to contribute to a once-in-a-generation change programme that will shape the future of local government across Hampshire and the Solent. Colleagues involved in the programme gain experience of complex transformation, large-scale programme delivery, organisational design, governance, stakeholder engagement and public sector reform, whilst helping to create the foundations of the new authorities.

The Role:

You will lead delivery activity across the LGR programme, ensuring service and enabling workstreams progress in line with agreed priorities, dependencies and Day 1 requirements, and that delivery teams have the leadership, focus and intervention needed to achieve a viable transition.

What you’ll do:

Provide strategic leadership for delivery across the area-wide programme, setting clear priorities, expectations and delivery disciplines.
Ensure all portfolios, programmes and projects are progressing in line with central priorities, sequencing and Day 1 readiness requirements.
Lead intervention on slippage, ambiguity, unresolved dependencies or delivery barriers that threaten programme confidence.
Coordinate delivery across future unitaries, themes and service portfolios so that local activity remains aligned to the area-wide programme.
Oversee portfolio leadership, programme management and project delivery capacity, ensuring accountabilities are clear and support is deployed where most needed.
Represent delivery confidence, risks and recovery actions clearly at senior governance forums.

What we’re looking for:

Significant experience leading large-scale delivery in complex transformation, mobilisation or implementation environments.
Experience leading senior delivery professionals across broad portfolios or programmes.
Strong understanding of programme integration, critical path management and dependency resolution.
Credibility with senior stakeholders and ability to influence across organisational boundaries.
Ability to drive pace, accountability and delivery confidence in ambiguous contexts.
A strong, visible delivery leadership style, with excellent judgement on priorities and practical implementation.

Why join us?

Play a key role in shaping the future of local government across Hampshire and the Solent.
Gain experience working on a large-scale, high-profile transformation programme.
Work alongside senior leaders and subject matter experts from multiple authorities.
Develop expertise in programme management, organisational change, governance and implementation.
Build relationships and networks across the wider local government sector.
Make a positive, lasting impact on how services are delivered to residents and communities.

Our benefits package includes details of holiday entitlement, pension scheme, flexi-time scheme, family friendly policies, interest free travel loans and discounts. We offer a flexible, motivating and inclusive workplace where people can grow and develop in their roles.

If you are interested in helping deliver one of the most ambitious transformation programmes in local government, and have the skills and experience we are looking for, we would love to hear from you.

Travel Requirements:

You may be required to visit other locations within Hampshire and therefore need to have the ability to travel, as necessary.
