Permanent, Flexible hours, Full time

No DBS check required

Remuneration: up to £108,000

37 hours


Woking is facing a financial challenge on a scale which is unprecedented. However, we have been working effectively with Commissioners in developing an Improvement and Recovery Plan (IRP), which will put in place the appropriate systems, processes and skills to ensure the effective management of the Council in the future.

Alongside acting as the Council’s Monitoring Officer and managing the operational work of key teams, this post will lead on delivering the Governance and Assurance workstream of the Council’s IRP. This will ensure that there is effective governance, risk management and scrutiny arrangements in place at the Council and that rounded decisions are taken on the basis of appropriate evidence and analysis.

This role will be integral to the Council’s response to the Government intervention and to ensuring that the authority operates effectively in the future. Woking is in a unique ‘turnaround’ position which – whilst clearly challenging – also provides a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate, motivated by the opportunity to make a real and tangible impact.
