London Borough of Redbridge

Head of Parking
£86,274 - £89,667

Our borough is beginning a huge transformation. With ambitious regeneration plans, a need for new infrastructure, and plenty of investment on the way, things are changing. And we are transforming our organisation to be better equipped to have the greatest impact for our community. We need leaders to take us on the journey.

This is a great career move for an accomplished Parking and Highways professional to lead our Parking Services. You’ll be responsible for all Council car parks and on-street parking – ensuring a service that is both commercially and customer focused. We expect that you will have expert knowledge of current legislation and best practice in the sector, but this professional expertise should be enhanced by a broader strategic appreciation of how parking strategies can align with wider place, regeneration and economic development programmes.

You’ll ensure a highly responsive approach to customer issues, recognising the high levels of attention and scrutiny that this service attracts, including from elected members. With a commitment to continuous improvement, you’ll be professionally curious about emerging best practice across the sector, including how we can make better use of technology in delivering a more efficient and customer-focused service that complies with all relevant legislation.

It's a role that will suit someone with excellent sector knowledge and proven experience of leading high performing teams. As well as leading your own team, you should also have experience of contract management, quality assuring the work of partner organisations. You should be accustomed to working with a diverse set of stakeholders and working through contentious and complex issues to arrive at appropriate resolutions.
