Kingston and Sutton councils have a number of shared services serving both authorities, with some teams and roles more focussed on one council than the other, but the majority are shared across both, meaning you get multiple opportunities to learn from a wider pool of activities and two different political bodies. We work flexibly in both Kingston and Sutton offices, and support working at home or flexible working patterns that enable you to tailor your working and personal life. We provide the equipment and tools to enable you to work flexibly, and in return ask you to use that flexibility to be creative and ambitious in the services we deliver. There are some really exciting things happening in both boroughs. In Sutton, we are developing the London Cancer Hub, a world leading cancer research and treatment hub that will bring together professionals from across different sectors to identify and test new treatments and therapies. Over in Kingston, we are undertaking the largest housing regeneration programme ever delivered in the borough, building new energy efficient housing that will transform some of our oldest Council owned housing. Both boroughs have publicly committed to doing what they can to tackle the climate emergency and are investing in new technologies and societal change that will help bring carbon emissions down and improve our climate impact. You should choose Kingston and Sutton if you are looking for an opportunity that will challenge you to deliver more, support you to achieve personal ambitions, and expect you to put borough residents at the heart of what you do. Kingston is a beautiful Royal borough with a historic setting on the banks of the Thames with excellent schools and a bustling retail centre, all surrounded by open green spaces such as Richmond Park and Bushey Park, former recreation grounds for Tudor Kings and Queens. The Council is controlled by a Liberal Democrat Administration and has a council plan \"Greener, Fairer, Safer, Together\", that sets out a vision to be a vibrant, diverse and inclusive borough where residents are active, empowered, engaged and able to remain independent and resilient. The Council engages with residents through a number of forums and events through the year, and like Sutton plays a leading role in developing the South West Region of London. Sutton is a well connected attractive part of London that has a reputation for excellent schools, green and leafy open spaces, and a history that drives a thriving heritage and culture offer through our museums and libraries. The Council is controlled by a long established Liberal Democrat Administration and has high ambitions set out in its corporate plan \"Ambitious for Sutton\", that will ensure Sutton remains a great place to live, work and raise a family. The Council plays a leading role in a number of local partnerships and places great emphasis on engaging effectively with its residents, listening to local voices and making their message heard across London Government. About the Role and our Ideal Candidate About The Role The Corporate Head of Data has specific responsibility for the design, delivery, operation of data services, Infrastructure and systems for the shared Digital & IT Service across Kingston and Sutton Councils. The role is responsible for implementing and developing the data strategy, managing the data programme budget, and ensuring that the data programme and team provides high-quality, efficient, and effective data services to the Councils and their residents. About You We are looking for someone with exceptional leadership skills who can lead the transformation in how two Councils can use data to deliver for their residents. You will be working with people from across the Councils and with partners and colleagues from across London to shape and influence the use of data in the delivery and transformation in Council Services. You must have excellent communication skills and be able to work with a wide range of stakeholders. You will be leading a team to deliver the data architecture, platforms and tools we need along with establishing the data governance and oversight that ensures data quality and accurate outcomes. You will have the opportunity to build and mentor this team. You must have experience in delivering data services and working with complex data sets, with a well developed knowledge of data tools and technologies. About Us Digital and IT is a shared service between Kingston and Sutton Councils providing digital and technology services to both Councils and a number of arm's length companies, including <a href=\"https://www.achievingforchildren.org.uk/\"> Achieving for Children </a> and <a href=\"https://www.suttonhousingpartnership.org.uk/\"> Sutton Housing Partnership </a> . We are committed to delivering excellent public services to our residents and local businesses, which is why we place the user, and their needs, at the heart of our agile delivery strategy. We are proud of our digital culture, and have a team of excellent professionals working across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver for the Council. Both councils are significantly transforming their services. We are therefore looking to recruit vibrant, talented people who would be excited to help us. The Data Team is part of a shared Digital & IT service for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Sutton. Both councils have ambitious transformation programmes that depend on a more effective use of data to gain better insights and improve council services for residents. To meet these needs a shared data strategy has been agreed that aims to:<ul>\n<li> Set a data architecture and build a platform that makes it easier for the organisation to find, combine and use data. </li>\n<li> Establish a data governance framework to improve quality and handling so staff can have confidence in data products. </li>\n<li> Upskill our data analysts and council employees and recruiting data specialists. </li>\n<li> Select and embed new tools and technologies to improve data usage. </li>\n<li> Promote a more data-driven culture at all levels in the organisation. </li>\n</ul>The role reports directly to the Chief Digital and Information Officer.
