We’re at a big turning point at SGN.
The world is changing fast — expectations from customers, communities, regulators and our stakeholders are rising. Technology is moving quicker than ever. We need to catch up and then stay ahead if we want to be the best GDN in the UK. We need to make sure we’re set up for success. We’re already making great progress with a new CEO and Executive Team, a new COO function and we’ve just moved from five to nine regions in our Southern network, creating closer communities for our people. We’ve opened a Business Services Centre, giving everyone easier access to the services they need, and we’ve brought in 550 new vans, with hundreds more on the way.
But this is just the beginning. We’re focusing on three big goals:
- Supporting our frontline first
- Cutting waste, not corners
- Working smarter, together
We’re now offering fantastic opportunities for colleagues to help us on this exciting journey.
The Business Change Manager will be responsible for driving and coordinating change management activities across the COO function. This leadership role ensures that all change initiatives are effectively planned, prioritised, and embedded, supporting successful delivery across the broader S&EO transformation portfolio.
We deliver safety, warmth, and comfort to homes and businesses. Every role, whether in the office or on the front line, plays a key part in this mission. Here’s how you will contribute…

- Build strong relationships with key stakeholders to foster commitment, manage resistance, and ensure alignment with business priorities.
- Provide expert advice and coaching on change management best practices to project teams and business leaders.
- Collaborate with project and programme managers to integrate change management activities into overall delivery plans.
- Track and report on change readiness, adoption, and benefits realisation.
- Champion a culture of continuous improvement and change capability across the organisation.
- Extensive experience in business change management within complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
- Strong knowledge of change management methodologies and frameworks (e.g., Prosci, ADKAR, Kotter).
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills at all levels of the organisation.
- Proven ability to lead and manage the people side of change through large-scale transformation initiatives.
- Experience working within project and programme delivery structures, with an understanding of governance, risk, and planning.
