Your new company
We are a nationally recognised public sector organisation with a proud legacy of transforming lives through education, innovation and community development. Our mission is to empower individuals and drive systemic change, and risk management is a critical enabler of that transformation. As part of a major organisational change programme, we are strengthening our risk and assurance framework to support strategic projects and deliver sustainable improvements. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping how risk is managed during a period of significant change.
Your new role
You'll lead the delivery of a refreshed risk and assurance approach, ensuring it aligns with ongoing transformation initiatives and project governance. This includes reviewing and improving the risk framework, embedding new processes and supporting project teams with risk assessments and mitigation strategies. You will coordinate internal audits, develop clear reporting for senior leadership and committees, and work closely with stakeholders to ensure risk management becomes an integral part of change delivery. Your role will be pivotal in driving consistency, improving resilience and enabling confident decision-making across multiple programmes.
What you'll need to succeed
You have experience in risk management and assurance, ideally within environments undergoing change. You understand risk frameworks and governance processes and can apply them in a project context. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, along with the ability to analyse data and translate insights into practical actions. Familiarity with project methodologies such as PRINCE2 or Agile would be an advantage, as would confidence in using Microsoft Office and risk management tools.
What you'll get in return
Alongside a competitive daily rate, you'll gain exposure to strategic projects and change initiatives, flexible hybrid working and the opportunity to make a real impact in a respected organisation delivering services that change lives.
