With a new five-year Programme of Work to 2028 in place to deliver on the shared ambition, an opportunity has arisen for an important role to support the continued development of the council’s business strategy, performance, and governance arrangements.

Reporting to the Strategy and Performance Manager within the Business Strategy Team, this role will support the ongoing development of the performance and governance arrangements supporting The Plan for North Lanarkshire and the Programme of Work, and will involve co-ordinating quantitative and qualitative information, analysing data and summarising the findings, and developing web content.
