Join to apply for the Head of Constitutional and Electoral Services role at Solace.
Overview
Redbridge is one of the most dynamic and diverse boroughs in London – a place where complex challenges exist alongside great opportunities. Right now, the Council is undergoing major change, creating unrivalled professional opportunities as we look to bring about far-reaching ambitions for our community. Good governance and effective scrutiny will be vital foundations for turning these ambitions into lasting change.
This role will place you at the centre of political decision-making and governance in the Council. As strategic lead for all matters related to constitutional and electoral services, you will ensure that our democratic processes enable efficient, ethical and accountable decisions that are in alignment with the Council’s constitution. You will hold the statutory responsibility for the Council’s scrutiny function and be able to bring this to life for Members, officers, partners and residents through high quality leadership, advice and, when appropriate, challenge.
Through a proactive and rigorous approach, you will ensure that good governance principles are embedded in how the Council operates, and that stakeholders understand the importance of governance as an enabling function and their role in adhering to its requirements. You’ll ensure that the Council’s Constitution and associated documents such as Procedure Rules and the Scheme of Delegation are current, in line with statutory requirements and are fully understood by key decision makers.
At all times, you will ensure that rigorous and impartial advice is available to elected members and senior colleagues, so that decision making is well-informed, transparent and that scope to challenge is minimised so that pace of progress is not hindered, without compromise on scrutiny and accountability.
It’s an opportunity that will suit someone with expert knowledge on constitutional and electoral council functions, and who can quickly establish professional credibility and trust across the political spectrum. The ability to speak truth to power through impartial and objective advice will be important, alongside highly effective relationship skills and an outcome focused approach.
