To fulfil the Council's Vision of being a modern vibrant City a major piece of the jigsaw to complete the job is to bring the City's highway infrastructure up to standard.

The Council is currently going through the final stages of procurement to appoint a Contractor for a 25 year Highway Maintenance PFI Contract, commencing in mid 2012 to bring the highway network back to a good standard over the initial core investment period (5-7 years) and to sustain these standards over the remaining period (18-20 years).

Your job as Head of Highway Infrastructure is to lead and be responsible for the Council's Highway Maintenance Service, primarily through the strategic and operational management of the PFI Contract.

In addition you will control the procurement of Non Core Services such as Local Transport Plan schemes and miscellaneous works for other Council Departments off highway. These will be procured through the PFI Contract or by letting other contracts if necessary.

The post of Head of Highway Infrastructure is a new role and although some of the key service staff will be in post when you start your new job, you will be responsible for establishing the new team and leading it initially through the PFI Contract Mobilisation Period, leading up to services commencement mid 2012 and then during the PFI Contract period itself.

You will be the Council's strategic and professional lead for the Highway Maintenance Service and the complementary activities listed above, managing the PFI Contract worth in the region of £70 million per annum, procuring potentially up to £10 million per annum of other engineering design and construction work, primarily through the PFI Contract and managing an internal team staff budget of £4 million per annum.

TAKE US TO THE NEXT LEVEL BY PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council successfully serves a diverse set of communities across rural and urban areas, with a rapidly changing demography. These, and other unique features such as a resilient economy and an ongoing nationally recognised regeneration programme, make it stand out from the crowd. We have a good track record for service delivery for which we have been judged as performing well overall, providing value for money and working effectively with Partners.

But there is much still to be done, and none more so than in adult social care where recent changes in local arrangements have brought an under-performing service back into the direct control of the Council. To assist in our priority improvement programme we have a People Directorate that brings together public health, children and adult functions so that there is a holistic and integrated approach to improvement in transformation, performance and productivity.

Within adult social care, in particular, resources and expertise are being re-combined and augmented through closer alignment with our corporate services across the authority, together with developing effective partnerships across health and the voluntary sectors. We have had a challenging journey and the transformation of our adult social care services needs to continue at a pace - because there’s more to come.

We are now looking for a credible and ambitious corporate leader who is keen to build on what has already been delivered. We will provide the challenge. You will bring a diverse range of experience and innovative thinking together with the grit and determination to deliver a complex range of services with fewer resources, in partnership, and to a high standard.

You will be responsible for day-to-day management of the operation of the protective services provided to the House by the Metropolitan Police Service under a service agreement. You will have a key role in striking the right balance between facilitating public access to the House of Commons and the requirements of security. And you will manage the staff responsible for access control on behalf of Parliament as a whole.

Success in this high-profile post will require a strong track record of working in partnership with others to implement complex and sensitive security arrangements and a thorough appreciation of the implications for security in this distinctive setting. As a visible figure, trusted by Members to assist on a wide range of security and related matters, personal flexibility combined with strong communication and interpersonal skills will be essential. You will also demonstrate the judgement needed to balance competing priorities, and the ability to act decisively while under heavy operational pressure. The role of Serjeant at Arms carries the dignity of the institution and requires a demeanour that inspires confidence at the highest levels. This is a unique opportunity to help this great democratic institution meet the security challenges of the 21st century.

You will need this if you are to encourage the 7800staff and over 500,000 people from many diverse communities across Sandwell and West Birmingham to share your vision for healthcare services.

To provide effective leadership to Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust you will need to be able to call on high level skills and experience which you will bring from leading other large and complex organisations. Finally, you will need to demonstrate commitment and conviction. The NHS is one of the most important institutions in this country.

Consultant/Senior Consultant/Partner - Interim Leadership, Local Government

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:30:23 +0000

Permanent

Employer: GatenbySanderson
Location : London
Salary: Competitive salary

GatenbySanderson has established itself as the leading provider of Executive Search services to Local Government. So far in 2011 we have helped to appoint more senior managers to positions in this sector than any other executive recruitment business and are working hard to ensure we remain clear market leaders in 2012 and beyond. The strength and depth of our networks and client relationships help our Interim Leadership team build profile and brand position and we have our sights firmly fixed on becoming the number one provider in this area too. We want to grow our presence in London and the South of England and are keen to speak to talented recruitment consultants who share this ambition. We have the flexibility and size to offer career progression including management opportunities for those with the appetite and the ability. This role should appeal to someone who has developed a proven track record of winning business and delivering quality candidates within the public sector at a middle management level and now wishes to progress and work with clients and candidates at an executive level. Equally, it should also appeal to someone already working at this level and who wants to join an established provider which is now poised for growth again to capitalise on market opportunities.

For further information, please contact Martin Tucker, Managing Partner for a confidential discussion.
