Organisations do not change because a strategy says they should.

They change because leaders grow, cultures evolve, people embrace new ways of working, and someone helps connect ambition with action.

At North East Lincolnshire Council, we're on an exciting journey to build a resilient, capable and inclusive workforce that can meet the needs of our communities today and in the future. We're looking for an Organisational Development Manager to help make that happen.

This is an opportunity to help shape how a modern council develops its people, responds to change and builds the workforce it needs for the future.

What's the role about?

This role sits at the heart of organisational improvement.

You’ll lead our Organisational Development function, working with leaders, managers, elected members and partners to understand what's working well, where challenges exist and what needs to change to help the organisation succeed.

Some of the work will be highly visible. You might be helping senior leaders think differently about organisational culture, supporting a major transformation programme or shaping the future of leadership development across the council.

At other times, you’ll be drawing on workforce insight, listening to employee feedback and spotting patterns that help us understand where investment, support or intervention is needed.

At the centre of it all, you’ll be helping the organisation make better decisions about its people, leadership and future direction.

This is a role with genuine breadth, influence and impact. The work you do won’t just shape the employee experience, it will help strengthen the organisation's ability to deliver for the residents of North East Lincolnshire.

What will your day look like?

One day, you could be facilitating a conversation with senior leaders about the culture needed to deliver the council's ambitions over the next five years.

The next, you might be working alongside colleagues to design a talent programme that helps future leaders grow, analysing workforce insight to identify emerging risks, or supporting a major service transformation to ensure people remain engaged and supported throughout change.

You’ll spend time building relationships across the organisation and beyond, helping services navigate challenges, translating complex organisational issues into practical solutions and bringing people together around a shared vision for improvement.

There will be opportunities to lead innovative programmes, coach and support others, influence strategic decision-making and ensure that organisational development is not something that happens to people, but something that is created with them.

If you’re someone who enjoys variety, complexity and the chance to make a tangible difference, you’ll find plenty to get excited about here.
