At Test Valley Borough Council we are passionate about working with our communities in a way that celebrates their uniqueness, their sense of belonging, and the ambitions people have for the places where they live.

As Hampshire enters a period of major change in how local government is organised, we are looking for a skilled project manager with expertise in organisational change and transformation to help us shape and drive our Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) programme – ensuring our communities remain at the heart of everything we do.

You will be supported by a collaborative, encouraging team within our Strategy and Innovation Service, giving you the chance to quickly develop your skills in convening, influencing and leading others through change – helping colleagues stay focused on what matters most: delivering outcomes that genuinely improve people’s lives.

We are a friendly, supportive organisation that invests in our people. Alongside agile working, we offer a range of employee benefits including discounted gym membership. Further information about our benefits can be found at Employee Benefits | Test Valley Borough Council.
