Location: The Civic Centre, Churchill Court, 2 Westmoreland Road, BR1 1AS&nbsp;
Salary: BR10-11 (£38,633 – £40,770)&nbsp;
Contract Type: Permanent&nbsp;
Hours: Full-time&nbsp;
London Borough of Bromley Council is working hard to do things differently in SEND, to do things better than ever before. We are a forward-thinking Service in an ambitious and stable Local Authority: we are champions for our children and young people with Special Educational Needs, and we all work hard to make sure that we’re doing as much as possible to deliver solid outcomes and great opportunities for our students.&nbsp;
We’ve changed how we do things, and with a new-look service taking shape, we’re wanting to take on 12 EHC Coordinators. There’re opportunities across our new assessments team, our 0 – Year 8 team and our new Preparing for Adulthood team.&nbsp;
Why Bromley?&nbsp;
Are you passionate about improving the outcomes and increasing opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs? Do you have a care and concern to see SEN done differently, to see SEN done better?&nbsp;
If so, this is your opportunity to join a high-performing, highly-focussed and dedicated SEN Service, where we put children and young people first.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We invest in our people too, where teamwork and collaboration matters, where learning and development are not jut tick-boxes once a year, but a part of our processes. We celebrate success, and every piece of work you do will help shape a brighter, fairer, more inclusive future for those with SEN.&nbsp;
We offer a generous package including competitive pay, career average pension scheme, flexible working practices and the Bromley employee benefits scheme; Cycle2Work, Salary Sacrifice Lease Car, Technology Scheme, GymFlex and a wide range of local and national discounts.&nbsp;
About you, and your responsibilities:&nbsp;
You might have experience from a Local Authority background, from a school, college, or Early Years background, you might come from a Health Service or third sector background too. Certainly, you’ll have a good knowledge and experience of the SEN system, and you will have a demonstrable understanding of the SEN Code of Practice, and you’ll be aware of changes that might be coming in the SEN system, and what that might mean for councils, schools, and most of all children and young people.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For those wanting to join our PFA team, you’ll have an understanding of what it means to Prepare for Adulthood, and a working knowledge of the concept of post-16 and post-18 provision and placements.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You’ll be good at communicating, able to share the positive and the difficult messages which come with SEN, confident in the knowledge that your managers and local leaders will support you. You’ll do this with empathy, with kindness, but also with clearness and confidence.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You’ll be well organised and able to balance competing priorities day to day, and you’ll understand why good record keeping is important, and most importantly, do it. You’ll understand that SEN is not just the school or setting, not just the Council, not just the Health Service, but that we all have a part to play, when, how, and why.&nbsp;
We are committed to working with the best candidates and the best colleagues, so the recruitment of EHC Coordinators will continue until we have all roles filled.&nbsp;
Interviews will also be on an ongoing basis, every week in December to begin with.&nbsp;
If this sounds like you, like the work and job you want to do, in a place you want to be, please do not hesitate to apply, we look forward to hearing from you soon.&nbsp;
We are forces family friendly and are part of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme (Bronze Award). We welcome applications from ex-Armed Forces personnel, reservists, veterans, cadet instructors and military spouses/partners.  &nbsp;
We are committed to achieving equal opportunities in employment and service delivery and as a disability confident committed employer we encourage applications from people with disabilities.  As part of this commitment, we will consider reasonable adjustment to support disability employment. &nbsp;

About Bromley
Bromley Council is committed to making Bromley a fantastic place to live and work, where everyone can lead healthy, safe and independent lives.
We are London’s largest borough, made up of areas with distinct urban and suburban character, and large areas of Green Belt and open countryside. Our historic environment is a key asset, including 47 conservation areas and over 400 listed buildings. Bromley also plays an important role in the regional economy, particularly the Strategic Industrial Land in the Cray Valley; and Bromley Town Centre, the borough’s most significant retail and leisure location.
Delivering infrastructure to support the growing needs of residents is integral to good planning. The Council adopted its own Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in April 2021, providing an important new mechanism to support the infrastructure ambitions of the borough. The Council is also the collecting authority for the Mayor of London’s CIL.
We are looking for an experienced Infrastructure Delivery Team Leader to lead the Infrastructure Delivery Team and play a critical role in securing funding from new development; and ensuring that new developments implement improvements to infrastructure and services that are agreed as part of planning permissions.​
About the role
In this role, your main responsibility will be to lead and manage the Infrastructure Delivery Team responsible for all CIL and Section 106 processes. This includes the administration and collection of CIL and Section 106 payments for the Borough; and the post-collection allocation and spending of funds, including the ongoing development of a Neighbourhood CIL spend process.
The postholder will lead on the development and implementation of processes for the collection of the forthcoming Building Safety Levy; and will be involved with the development of the new Bromley Local Plan, particularly with regard to evidence base development related to infrastructure.
The Team Leader post will have line management responsibility for two Infrastructure Delivery Officers and will report directly to the Head of Planning Policy and Strategy. The post holder will work closely with colleagues in the Planning Policy and Design &amp; Conservation teams which also sit within the Planning Policy and Strategy service; and will also work with other departments across the Council including Development Management, Finance, Housing and Regeneration.
The successful candidate will represent the Planning Policy and Strategy service at various internal and external meetings, including Council committee meetings; and will also be required to deputise for the Head of Planning Policy and Strategy in relation to infrastructure delivery matters, as and when required.
What we offer
This is an MG6 grade role, with a salary range of £47,536 to £71,302. It is a full-time, permanent role, based on a 36-hour working week. The role is based at Bromley Civic Centre (opposite Bromley South station). We offer hybrid working arrangements, with the current expectation that the post holder will be in the office for at least 2 days per week.
We are forces family friendly and are part of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme (Bronze Award). We welcome applications from ex-Armed Forces personnel, reservists, veterans, cadet instructors and military spouses/partners.&nbsp;

Applications must be submitted through the Bromley Council website via the link below. Your application should address the criteria set out in the attached Job Description &amp; Person Specification document.&nbsp;<a href="https://recruitmentbromley.engageats.co.uk/ViewAttachment.aspx?enc=jmxpV+AcVus8i/wvT3FZXrrCOvCUGNWd9uca/tGZrAI3dMyH7+aRsXJPdz+CdVHAYfITYbSEkya0sE5ZLTFqLMvkayFro1PIfvQNRwYMGtd7sTlU+x0uayTDMHT3Y2tx" target="_blank">JD.pdf</a>

London Borough of Redbridge

Director of Commercial

<ul></ul>





Shape the future of Redbridge’s estate – and leave your mark.

Redbridge is a borough with ambition. We’re one of the fastest-growing places in the country, and we’re investing in the future of our communities, our services, and our places. With a newly recruited Director of Housing, a transformation agenda that’s&nbsp;gaining momentum, and a leadership team committed to doing things differently, this is a unique opportunity to shape the future of our estate and leave a lasting legacy.

This is an exciting new role created to lead the strategic direction of our property portfolio, capital delivery, and facilities management. This is a chance to take ownership of a complex and varied estate, including corporate buildings, commercial assets, leisure centres, and a housing stock of around 4,500 units. You’ll be responsible for developing our Asset Management Plan, overseeing investment decisions, and ensuring robust governance, compliance, and assurance across all property-related functions.
This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. We’re breaking down cultural barriers, moving away from operational silos, and building a more strategic, commercially focused approach to asset management. You’ll need to roll up your sleeves, lead change with confidence, and bring clarity to an area full of potential.
You’ll work closely with elected Members, regulators, and delivery partners, and you’ll be a key voice in shaping our investment strategy. From leisure centres and commercial holdings to housing undergoing transformation, you’ll bring coherence to a portfolio that’s lacked strategic oversight. You’ll also play a key role in supporting our exit strategy from long-term consultancy reliance, helping us build internal resilience and capability.
About you
We’re looking for a commercially minded leader with strong political acumen, a track record of transformation, and the ability to hit the ground running. We’re open to candidates from other local authorities, or beyond, but you’ll need more than technical expertise.
You’ll be someone who thrives in complexity – able to balance operational grip with strategic foresight. You’ll bring a leadership style that’s collaborative, visible, and grounded in delivery. Whether your background is in local government, the NHS, or the commercial sector, you’ll understand how to navigate political environments, influence senior stakeholders, and lead cultural change. You’ll be confident shaping governance, driving assurance, and embedding a performance culture that delivers for residents and staff alike.
This is a high-impact role in a borough that’s ready to do things differently. If you’re looking for a challenge, and you want to make your mark in a place with ambition, complexity, and momentum – we’d love to hear from you.

At Redbridge, we’re building an amazing place to work, learn and thrive.

Everywhere you look at Redbridge Council, there’s energy and momentum for change. We’re proud to serve one of the most exciting, diverse and fast-growing boroughs in the country, and we’re&nbsp;at a hugely important inflection point as we transform our organisation&nbsp;to meet the challenges and opportunities of the coming decades.
If we’re to deliver the outstanding service and performance that our residents deserve, we need to work as an integrated ‘one borough’ team, characterised by optimism and relentless determination. We want to support our motivated, collaborative and agile workforce with the skills, technology and support they need to make a lasting impact.&nbsp;
Our people will make the difference for Redbridge – and you’ll make the difference for our people.

We’re looking for an exceptional People professional who can lead this once-in-a-generation transformation. Working closely with the Chief Executive, you’ll advise and encourage us as we develop resilient teams, build a collaborative and appreciative culture, and provide the best professional development and a great workplace experience. It’s not enough just to be the destination of choice for talented and values-led people: we want them to stay part of the Redbridge project for the long term.
It's a full-spectrum role for someone with full-spectrum capability. You’ll be an inspiring and dynamic senior leader, whose career to date is distinctive not only for your track record, but also for the way you’ve exemplified our values of Collaboration, Honesty, Excellence and Fairness.
You’ll balance comprehensive knowledge and expertise in relevant legislation and best practice with a sophisticated understanding of how organisations grow and flourish. Innovative, courageous, professionally curious and entirely comfortable working outside the box, you’ll understand the power of culture to drive transformation and improvement, and will relish this chance to be in at the beginning of a truly remarkable period in the Redbridge story.

Momentum is building in Redbridge. An invigorated sense of direction and potential is setting ambitious plans for the future. And this is creating some of the most exciting career propositions in London. This is your chance to be part of a new management team with a mandate for change and a shared sense of purpose.

This is a hugely exciting opportunity&nbsp;for an accomplished and ambitious education professional. In a borough with a high proportion of maintained schools, this is a role with considerable scope and influence.
You’ll work closely with school leaders at all levels, to promote good practice, share expertise and set clear expectations. That demands assured professional credibility at both a school and system level.
There is much to be positive about: Redbridge’s schools perform well. But there are some fundamental areas where we need to improve: such as SEND provision and schools’ financial resilience in the context of changing demographics.
Our most recent Area SEND inspection has highlighted where we need to be better. This has supported shared clarity on priorities and ensured organisational attention and support to bring about the changes that are required. You’ll work in partnership with school leaders and partner organisations to develop more robust and accountable systems around SEND and Inclusion, ensuring a more informed perspective supports evidence-based decision-making that is data led. You’ll oversee work with schools to develop their expertise and capacity in SEND provision, ensuring a more consistent experience for children and young people, and when necessary, challenging performance. It’s important that you have a practical understanding of the complexities of partnership working and clear ideas on how to ensure that the needs of young people and their families are at the centre of system design.
As you’d expect, such a role comes with high levels of attention and scrutiny. So, it’s essential that you understand the political dynamics of leading on such a high-profile area of work. Success in this role will rely on your ability to create consensus and momentum across school leadership and governance. You’ll be able to articulate a distinct vision for the change that is needed and clarity on the practical steps that need to happen to get us where we want to be.
We expect that you will already have a proven track record of leading school improvement and SEND provision across a number of schools, either in another local authority or in a multi academy trust. You should be well-informed on the current and emerging issues for the sector and have a detailed appreciation of the challenges that each school faces, individually and as part of the wider system.
