The Senior Delivery Unit Officer will work as part of a small team who will connect service areas that need support directly to the Chief Executive and Leader. You will be working alongside Merton Staff building on the strength and skills across the organisation for future delivery. You will provide insight into the challenges to service delivery, collaborate with service areas to form plans for rapid improvement, then stand alongside these services to support them in delivering the improvements. You will take an evidence-led approach, putting qualitative and quantitative data together to get to the heart of why service delivery needs to improve, and present the data to the Chief Executive and Leader of the Council regularly to demonstrate progress on agreed improvement work.
