Integration and Development Manager

At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious in reforming the council to ensure this is a place for everybody. Within the Resources department, our ambition is to be 'ruthlessly financially efficient' in everything that we do, to ensure that our residents and services are receiving the best value for money whilst challenging old-fashioned thinking, unfairness and removing waste where possible.

Do you have what it takes to help spearhead the delivery of our newly revamped Digital service?

Following a recent service redesign, Digital services has a number of exciting opportunities to join our high-performing team. Roles exist in Strategy, Applications & systems, Network & telephony, and Information management and security.

We want to deliver the digital and information services our residents and colleagues deserve, and we are looking to work with like-minded people who are passionate and committed to enabling public service transformation through technology, whilst ensuring the delivery of a seamless and effective operational IT service. Each team member is a key contributor to the successful delivery of our objectives and activities.

This is an exciting and challenging time to join H&F as we face an unprecedented level of technology enabled business change and transformation that Digital services will be at the forefront in supporting. Upcoming programmes include transformation of our infrastructure and IT equipment to enable new ways of working, to technically enabling the complete transformation of the way that residents access our services.

Together, you’ll help us deliver the council's priorities through the innovative provision of digital and information services.

You will drive transformation and integration with your small team of developers. You will develop, integrate, and support both new and existing products using a range of new and established technologies including RPA, .NET, low-code tools and the council’s Granicus govservice platform. You will guide the council in the acquisition, deployment and support of new tools and platforms.

Our mission is to be the best council. To do this we need the best people to help build our vision. Successful candidates will be self-motivated, able to communicate effectively at every level, and driven to challenge themselves and us as an organisation to be the best we can be.

If you’re looking to develop your career in a fast-paced, professional environment whilst making a difference, then we look forward to hearing from you.
