Adur & Worthing Councils are on a journey. We’re looking for an individual with extensive experience of managing organisational redesign to join our team as we support our managers and employees to develop new and innovative ways of working.
Our People and Change team is focused on putting people at the heart of our work. Our practice is guided by our principles ...Participative, Adaptive and Resilient. We’re looking for someone who can embody these principles - taking a collaborative and participative approach to helping shape the strategic direction of our services.

This is an exciting and challenging opportunity ... if you think you’ve got what it takes, we very much look forward to hearing from you!
