Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council
Barnsley, Yorkshire
The Head of Innovation is a senior, high-profile leadership role with responsibility for setting the strategic direction for innovation, data, AI and automation across the council. You'll work at the heart of the organisation, helping to embed intelligence-led decision-making, encourage curiosity and experimentation, and ensure innovation is applied in a purposeful, ethical and value-driven way. Joining at a formative moment, you'll have genuine scope to shape both the role and its impact. We're not looking for someone to arrive with a fixed blueprint; instead, we want a leader who can horizon-scan, challenge assumptions, and help the organisation think differently about where change sits and how it should be delivered. You'll work closely with established technical teams across data engineering, analytics and AI, allowing you to focus on identifying the right problems, building momentum and scaling innovation across services, partnerships and the wider system. You'll provide strategic leadership on data governance, ethical AI and compliance, ensuring robust guardrails are in place while still enabling pace, creativity and learning. This role is as much about influence and communication as it is about strategy. You'll act as an advocate for insight-led decision-making, building confidence and capability among senior leaders, elected members and the wider workforce, and helping to embed a culture where data, evidence and innovation are central to how decisions are made.

Citizens UK Citizens UK is the UK's biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign.

We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems. Citizens UK has played a pioneering role in introducing and developing community sponsorship of refugees in the UK.

In 2022, Citizens UK expanded its work by launching the Communities for Ukraine programme, matching Ukrainian refugees with UK hosts and most recently has run Communities for Afghans, resettling dozens of refugees. Throughout, it has combined grassroots organising with national advocacy to build a sustainable, community-led model of refugee resettlement. In 2025, we campaigned successfully to persuade the Government to introduce 'named sponsorship', giving communities greater choice in who they would sponsor. This creates a huge opportunity to grow community sponsorship and to enable UK civil society to step up and honour our proud tradition of offering sanctuary.
