Description:
Interim Business Analyst
Local Government Reorganisation - East Midlands
£450 - £500/day
Initial 6 months
An East Midlands council is strengthening its LGR programme team ahead of key transition milestones and is looking for an experienced Business Analyst to help shape the move to a new unitary structure.
This is a genuine opportunity to work at the centre of one of the biggest changes in local government for decades. You'll be joining a growing programme team with visibility across the full reorganisation.
The role:
* Map as-is services and processes across councils in scope for reorganisation
* Support design of the Target Operating Model and day one readiness planning
* Gather and document requirements across workstreams including finance, customer services, digital and HR
* Produce options appraisals, gap analyses and process documentation for programme boards and senior stakeholders
* Support workstream leads with impact assessments and benefits mapping
* Work across multiple authorities, building relationships with PMO, service managers and transformation colleagues
You'll need:
* Recent UK council experience essential
* A solid track record of business analysis within transformation, shared services or reorganisation programmes
* Strong process mapping and requirements gathering skills (Visio, BPMN or similar)
* Confidence engaging senior officers and elected members
* The ability to work at pace across ambiguous, politically sensitive territory
* LGR, unitarisation or shadow authority exposure a strong advantage, but strong council transformation experience will be considered
Details:
* £450-£500 per day, outside IR35
* Hybrid working, typically 2–3 days on site
* Initial 6 months, with strong likelihood of extension through to vesting day and beyond
