<p><strong>Interview Date: </strong>TBC</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>About the role:</strong></p>
<p>The goal of our Reablement Service is to help older people live independently in their own homes, by giving as many people as possible an active life within the community. A small proportion of people will need and benefit from short-term care in a 24-hour bedded facility for the purposes of rehabilitation or recovery, where time is given to the assessment and consideration of options for longer term care. This could be in a rehabilitation facility, care home or hospice care.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are making Central Bedfordshire a great place to live and work. As a Unit Support Worker, you’ll have a vital role to play and will support people to maximise their independence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recovering from illness or a stay in hospital can take time – and make everyday tasks very difficult. As a Unit Support Worker, you’ll be there to help older people get back on their feet again. You will encourage people to regain skills and enable them to manage daily living tasks such as washing, dressing, and preparing meals for themselves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As someone who’ll see our service users regularly, you’ll also be responsible for assessing each person’s particular needs. It’s therefore important that you have a good understanding of older people, those with disabilities and reablement. An NVQ level 2/3 in a relevant subject (or equivalent qualifications or experience) is desirable. Beyond this, you need to be organised, used to a caring role and able to work unsupervised. It’s also important that you’re good with people – able to put them at their ease and encourage them to improve. If you’ve got what it takes, you’ll have a highly rewarding role.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please note that you’ll be expected to work to a set rota to alternate weekend working, this is a fixed term 4 week rolling rota and not flexible with what days are worked. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Join us and find your greatness by giving older people freedom and the chance to lead a fulfilling life.</p>

<p><strong>Team:</strong> Capital Delivery</p>
<p><strong>Job Family:</strong> Managing - CBG16</p>
<p><strong>Salary:</strong> £73,410 - £78,758 per annum pro rata</p>
<p><strong>Hours:</strong> Full-time, 37 hours per week</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> You will be expected to attend a CBC office location as often as needed to carry out your role, which will be no less than once per month.</p>
<p><strong>Contract Type:</strong> Hybrid - Permanent </p>
<p><strong>Closing Date:</strong> 31st August 2025</p>
<p><strong>Interview Date:</strong> 9th September 2025</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have big ambitions. We invest in our communities longer term with a significant capital programme to deliver some key infrastructure and property projects including schools, leisure centres, care homes, independent living schemes, housing and much more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As Head of the Capital Delivery, you will be responsible for the delivery of all the Council’s major construction activities including residential, commercial, health and social care, agricultural and educational buildings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You will also be responsible for delivery of capital receipts from land and building disposals generating income that helps the Council fund investment in public services.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Your role</strong></p>
<p>You will be experienced and talented, with responsibility for managing the Council’s ‘intelligent client’ service for the Council’s large and complex construction projects as well as disposals projects; all of which require significant planning, stakeholder engagement and management of internal and external consultant and contractor teams.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Projects are exceptionally varied ranging in value from £1M to £100M+ with no two jobs the same.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You will be responsible for the management, maintenance and delivery of the Council’s project pipeline - currently managing around 20 construction projects with a value c£150m, and a disposals programme that will deliver £125M in capital receipts over the next four years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The service operates an ‘intelligent client’ model with an internal professional services team. You will lead a really customer friendly service helping our internal departments so that they can focus on how they will use a building once it’s in place – rather than how to get it built; and an efficient service, making sure the projects are delivered on time, on budget, and meet quality expectations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Much of your work will be high profile for the Council. You will need to build strong relationships with our Customers, Senior Officers and Councilors who have high expectations of the service, so you can help them translate their ambitions into delivered schemes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Your qualifications, skills and experience</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You will have a construction, engineering or project management degree (or equivalent qualification) with experience in construction management, having delivered capital construction projects valued up-to £50m, preferably in the public sector.</li>
<li>You will understand delivery strategies, procurement and contract options for construction projects, with experience of high value procurement (including outcome based commissioning), JCT and NEC contracts, contract management and awareness of contract enforcement. Experience dealing with contractor disputes may be advantageous.</li>
<li>You must be able to lead a project and portfolio management methodology for construction projects, with experience of project programming, estimating fees, managing resources, risk and issues across all RIBA stages.</li>
<li>You will have knowledge and demonstrable experience of managing a programme of asset disposals across a portfolio to achieve financial objectives, and understand how to manage associated risks</li>
<li>You will have knowledge and experience of managing internal and external construction professionals.</li>
<li>You will have good working knowledge of statutory regulations relevant to capital projects, including CDM 2015 the new building safety act and regulations, and Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations.</li>
<li>With good political and commercial awareness, and strong communication skills, you will have a gift for influencing others, translating technical information into plain language, working together collaboratively and be committed to evidence-based decision making.</li>
<li>You must be able to lead the service in a way that reflects the Council’s values</li>
</ul>
