Description

ASA Recruitment’s client, a Public Sector organisation in Scotland, is currently looking to recruit a Programme Manager on a hybrid basis, on an initial 2-month contract (with potential extensions) on a rate of c.£35.91/hour PAYE (based on experience). This role will be based remotely with the occasional travel to Inverness.

The Role:

To lead and coordinate the implementation of the Community Learning and Development (CLD) and Employability Service redesign programme, ensuring effective governance, consultation completion, organisational change implementation and establishment of revised management arrangements.

The postholder will support the transition from redesign to operational delivery, ensuring new structures, systems, processes and ways of working are embedded effectively across the service.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead and coordinate the delivery of the CLD and Employability Service redesign programme, ensuring agreed outcomes, milestones and governance requirements are achieved.
  • Manage the final stages of staff consultation, ensuring feedback is appropriately collated, analysed and considered within decision-making processes.
  • Work with Human Resources, Trade Union representatives and senior managers to support implementation of organisational change in accordance with organisational policies and procedures.
  • Coordinate the establishment of revised management structures, roles and responsibilities resulting from the redesign programme.
  • Develop and implement transition plans to support the move from current to future operating arrangements.
  • Establish and embed management systems, governance arrangements, reporting processes and operational procedures to support delivery within the new structure.
  • Support induction and transition arrangements for the newly appointed Senior Manager (Pathways and Lifelong Learning).
  • Design and facilitate workforce engagement and change workshops to support understanding, ownership and implementation of revised service arrangements.
  • Identify and manage implementation risks, issues and dependencies, ensuring appropriate mitigation actions are put in place.
  • Monitor progress against agreed implementation plans and provide regular reports to senior management and governance groups.
  • Work collaboratively with managers and teams across Employability, Youth Work and Adult Learning functions to support service continuity throughout the transition period.
  • Provide programme-level coordination and support until implementation is complete and responsibility transfers fully to the permanent management arrangements.


Essential Experience:

  • Significant experience of leading complex organisational change or service redesign programmes.
  • Experience of implementing new organisational structures and operating models.
  • Experience of working with HR processes relating to consultation, organisational change and workforce transition.
  • Experience of engaging and influencing a wide range of stakeholders within complex organisational environments.
  • Experience of developing and implementing governance, performance and operational management arrangements.
  • Experience of supporting teams through periods of significant change and transformation.
