Job Title: Change Programme Organisational Development Lead

Location: Barking and Dagenham, Greater London

Contract Type: 2 year FTC

Are you ready to make a significant impact in a dynamic environment? Our client, a forward-thinking organisation, is on the lookout for a passionate and innovative Change Programme Organisational Development Lead to drive transformative change across their services!

Why This Role Matters:

In this pivotal position, you'll be at the forefront of delivering a comprehensive change approach that prioritises resident-centred, preventative, and place-based services. Your expertise will help build a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, empowering leadership and enhancing organisational capacity for a digital future.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Strategic Development: Support the design and implementation of an Organisational Development (OD) strategy that aligns with the change programme, utilising diagnostic insights to identify key interventions and measures of impact.
  • Change Leadership: Act as a strategic resource in OD, ensuring that leadership development and change interventions are aligned with the Council's core shifts: from Reaction to Prevention, Complexity to Simplicity, and Surviving to Thriving.
  • Culture Shift: Drive a transformation from siloed service delivery to integrated, community-led models, fostering proactive engagement and collaboration.
  • Capability Building: Establish a core curriculum to enhance digital fluency and adaptive leadership skills among staff, equipping them to lead and sustain change.
  • Engagement and Resilience: Embed employee voice and engagement as key drivers for change, designing leadership development programmes that emphasise strategic, collaborative, and data-informed leadership.
  • Continuous Improvement: Develop systems for skills tracking, benefits realisation, and ongoing enhancement of OD programmes.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
