IT opportunities
Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in the exciting new ICT opportunities we have here at Enfield Council.
As a successful, high performing council in one of London’s most vibrant and diverse boroughs, we want to deliver our core services with a high level of quality, while seeking new and innovative ways to do business using technology.
We are going through some unprecedented changes in the way we deliver our ICT service due to COVID-19. Reflecting this new way of working is a new ICT strategy and plan. Our new approach, aligned to our Corporate Plan, is under construction and is due to be launched in September 2020. The revised plan has already identified the need to do things differently and, as a result, we are now looking for new skills and approaches, including committed Digital ICT professionals to strengthen our existing team and to ensure that our objectives and priorities are delivered effectively.
I believe you’ll find working in Enfield and in ICT an immensely rewarding experience. Enfield provides a fantastic opportunity for talented and ambitious professionals to make a real contribution to the quality of life in the borough and, through our commitment to invest in our staff, to develop your own skills and experience whilst working in a dynamic, fair and flexible environment. The organisational culture is positive, open and supportive with a real focus on outcomes. We’ve built excellent momentum in recent years and have established a reputation for high quality services and innovation.
Having joined Enfield in March 2020 as the ICT Director, a new post created to reflect the need to develop our Digital and Data capability, I want to work at pace in making Enfield the flag ship example of an innovative technology service to residents and staff.
Enfield Council wants to provide pioneering digital solutions, advanced analytics and data capability, and optimum ways of working that will extend beyond the council to make Enfield a great place to live and work.
We currently have a number of opportunities available. We look forward to hearing from you.
