Interim Project Manager – Change & Transformation (Housing / Local Government)

Day rate: £550 per day (higher rates considered for exceptional candidates)

Location: Hybrid, London (minimum 3 days on site per week)

Contract: 3 months initially, with potential extension

Salt is working with a London Local Authority to recruit an experienced Change Project Manager to lead high-priority projects within their Housing Improvement Programme. This role is about organisational change and service transformation.

Must-Have Experience

• Proven background delivering complex change projects at pace (service or organisational transformation, not tech rollouts).
• Organisation design and operating model development experience.
• Local Government or Housing sector experience – housing repairs or compliance transformation is highly desirable.
• Stakeholder management at Director level – able to influence senior leaders and frontline teams.
• Hands-on delivery: moving quickly from design through to implementation.

The Role

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of change projects, ensuring pace and impact.
• Drive organisational redesign, workforce alignment, and service transformation.
• Produce options appraisals, business cases, and delivery roadmaps.
• Provide clear governance, risk management, and reporting.
• Support change management activities including comms, training, and transition planning.

This is an opportunity for a senior change professional to deliver visible improvements that directly impact residents and services.
