The Role

Midland Heart is looking for a dynamic and high performing Head of Programme Delivery to lead our transformation process that enables change and improve business performance. This challenging role is responsible for portfolio, programme and project management to support business transformation and technology transformation in support of organisational strategy.

It goes without saying that you will be an experienced transformational change leader who connects with our purpose and mission. Working closely with the Director of IT you will drive the successful delivery of technology-enabled business change and transformation to enable and maximise business opportunity.

The ability to lead your team to success is essential. Engaging the team and inspiring them to deliver a first-class service will be key to the role.

Who are we?  Midland Heart is one of the leading UK housing businesses providing support to help people to live independently. Founded in 1925 we deliver housing and support by providing 33,000 high quality affordable homes to over 70,000 customers across 55 local authority areas. We have a new corporate strategy and plan to take us to 2020 and beyond; we are ambitious and confident about our future.

Our ideal candidate will have some knowledge of our sector but that’s not essential.  More important to us is that you are ambitious about the value a highly functioning IT Department can add to a business; and have proven experience of delivering this.  You will be willing to push the boundaries to get us to think differently and have excellent interpersonal skills to engage and influence our senior leaders and stakeholders. A willingness and ability to work collaboratively across our business is essential.

What can we offer you? We are a flexible employer, focussed on outputs, outcomes and value for money. Based at our Bath Row office in the centre of Birmingham, this role is offered on a permanent basis with a salary of £67,858 per annum. Alongside a generous leave entitlement, you will have access to a range of voluntary and salary sacrifice benefits, including generous pension arrangements, and regular tailored training & personal development plans.

If you feel you meet the brief, we’d love to hear from you.  For a confidential discussion you are able to contact Kathryn Downs, Director of IT on 0845 850 1020 ext. 6326.

Closing date for receipt of completed applications is 4pm on Friday 1st December 2017.

First stage assessments will take place on 13th & 14th December 2017.
