Job description

The Project

The VCS Data Sharing project is externally funded by the Local Digital Collaboration Unit in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. The project is a collaboration with Camden Council who are undertaking a similar project. Central Bedfordshire are also working with an external facilitator for the project who is providing innovation coaching and working in a similar role with Camden Council.

The aim of the project is to identify ways in which the Council and their Voluntary and Community Sector partners can collaboratively have a bigger impact on low income in Central Bedfordshire through improved data sharing. Given this broad brief, the project has gone through a process of Discovery / problem definition and we have identified two opportunity areas around:

  • Developing a Low Income Dashboard and Collaboration
  • Improving customer referral pathways

The project will be one of the first to follow an agile methodology in the organisation and is seen as an opportunity to test new ways of working and approaches.

The Role

This is a joint role of Project Manager / Delivery Manager leading the work for the VCS Data Sharing Project in Central Bedfordshire. We are looking for a unique individual who will be able to both undertake delivery management and an element of business analysis for the project. They will lead the development of the two opportunities identified in collaboration with council colleagues and VCS partners.
