Are you passionate about using data, insight, and collaboration to deliver real impact for communities?

We’re looking for a strategic, forward-thinking Place Planning & Delivery Lead to join our Adult Social Care team. You’ll be part of a team of five, each aligned to one of Norfolk’s five geographical Places — with this role primarily supporting East Norfolk or North Norfolk.

We’re seeking someone who’s confident with complexity, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven by outcomes. You’ll bring strong project and change management skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to turn insight into action. If you thrive on solving problems, spotting efficiencies, and making strategy happen — we want to hear from you
