Assistant Director for Regeneration
Ready to give our borough better?
That's ambition at work.
Haringey has potential. We're investing in creating a better borough for all our residents, with improved housing, thriving streets, a regenerated Tottenham, strong communities and safer neighbourhoods – somewhere people can be proud to live and work. We're overhauling our approach to customer services and reinforcing the infrastructure that supports our frontline services. To do this we need people to join our senior team, people who share our determination to deliver wide-reaching programmes. In these key roles, you'll be at the heart of our efforts, making large-scale change a reality and helping make Haringey London's borough of choice.
Deputy Chief Executive
circa £130k
You'll have a critical, wide-ranging role that involves advising council leaders and helping to set our strategic direction. You'll work directly with senior managers too, ensuring they have the resources to deliver transformation. The success of these initiatives will depend on instilling a strong sense of purpose, so you'll be the driving force behind a change in thinking: encouraging optimism and responsibility. Under your influence, our senior staff will be inspired to create effective plans for our services and to take responsibility for their success.
Assistant Director for Customer Services
circa £90k
Our Customer Service Transformation programme is designed to substantially increase customer satisfaction through improved quality of service, including better web access and a more personalised offer. Against this backdrop of change and improvement, you'll see that we give residents outstanding customer service that's built on a solid, unified strategy. You'll develop multiple channels to access the council; continually monitor performance; set the standard for partners, and ensure providers give value for money.
The result should be a council that's responsive and easily accessible, via modern, high-quality channels.
Assistant Director for Commissioning
circa £105k
You will improve the council's whole approach to commissioning. Taking the strategic lead, you will ensure we have the knowledge and insight to commission services that deliver value and positive outcomes for our residents. Starting with our adult and children's services and the voluntary sector, there will be strong integration, clear commercial direction, thorough evaluation and regular consultation with service users. You will lead a team and implement a strategy that can become a real engine of change in service delivery.
Assistant Director for Regeneration
circa £90k
We're determined to bring jobs and prosperity to Haringey. We want to provide decent, affordable housing and to develop the local economy and environment. That means your work will offer opportunities to bring improvement on multiple fronts borough-wide. You'll focus on effective strategies for viable regeneration initiatives: economic, social and physical. To succeed, you must be an innovative, ambitious professional with a background in development. Having worked on housing and large, complex projects, you'll understand how the industry works and how policies are developed. You'll also be adept at partnership working, with the resilience to cope with frequent changes of direction.
All these roles call for experienced senior managers who have successfully led transformation before. Thanks to this background, you'll understand the challenges and the need to inspire the teams, services and partners involved. Whatever your specialist field, you must be a natural leader who sees the future as we do.
