What will you be doing?

An opportunity has arisen to join the Council’s Risk and Delivery Assurance Team, working at the heart of the organisation to continuously develop and improve KCC’s risk management framework, ensuring it remains fit for purpose and an integral part of the council’s governance and decision-making arrangements in a challenging environment.

The role will involve working closely with services and senior managers across directorates, providing advice, support, guidance and quality assurance in matters relating to risk management from strategic, operational and change perspectives. You will be a key advisor and ‘critical friend’, contributing to assurance reviews of significant activities (including key projects), providing constructive, valued feedback and highlighting areas that present risk to successful delivery.

Sound knowledge and experience of risk management processes and techniques are required (from strategic, operational and / or project perspectives), although most important is a proactive, inquisitive and diplomatic approach, as well as the ability to effectively engage and communicate with managers, show understanding of their service environment and build strong relationships in the process.

Closing date is 29th July 2026.
