## About the Role

Working across complex systems, you will facilitate workshops, support service redesign, influence stakeholders, and champion a data-informed approach that improves outcomes for residents experiencing vulnerability. You will bring strong coaching, engagement and change management skills, alongside a passion for innovation, collaboration and public service reform. Whilst existing knowledge of SAVVI is desirable, it is not essential for this role as full training will be provided.

If you thrive in complex environments, enjoy building relationships across organisations, and are motivated by making a real difference to people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us and help create a more connected, proactive and compassionate public service system for Greater Manchester.

## Description

Together, these roles will help establish sustainable regional capability that supports:

 * Prevention and early intervention rather than crisis response.

 * Safe, ethical and trusted information sharing.

 * Better joined-up support for vulnerable residents.

 * Consistent adoption of SAVVI and Open Referral UK standards.

 * Scalable solutions that can be shared across Greater Manchester and beyond.

 * Improved outcomes through stronger collaboration between organisations.

Your Role:

The Transformation Coach role will report into the Information and Data Governance (IDG) Change Programme Manager and will benefit from close collaboration between the IDG and Digital directorates.

You will coach leaders, teams and partners to embrace new ways of working, build capability, and embed the principles of SAVVI into organisational culture, processes and decision-making. You will work closely with local authorities, GMCA, TfGM, digital, data, legal, information security, service delivery and national SAVVI/iStandUK partners.

This is a unique opportunity to drive meaningful change by helping services work together more effectively, ensuring vulnerability is identified, understood and responded to through better information sharing, collaboration and citizen-centred design., We embrace AI to enhance our operations and to innovate our services. However, we value human talent and are looking for passionate individuals to join our organisation. Please ensure you personally complete your application and read all the instructions carefully to maximise your chances of success., This role is part of GMCA's hybrid working scheme. As part of our commitment to 'Build Back Fairer' in Greater Manchester following the Covid-19 pandemic, we have evolved our management methods by trusting and empowering staff to deliver their work in the best way that suits the business and their individual needs, and supports health and wellbeing. Our hybrid working policy sets out a flexible approach, combining attendance at our Manchester city centre office, allocated GM Local Authority office(s), or on site in the community, with remote working, typically from home (within a reasonable commutable distance from Greater Manchester); the location of work is primarily dictated by the needs of the business: 'Do what is right for you and the business on that day'. If appointed to the role you will work with your manager to agree and regularly review the best working pattern for you, your team and your work.
