Overview:
We are recruiting an Agile Coach to support a single delivery team within a UK government client.
This role is team-level rather than organisation-wide, focused on helping a technically capable but historically under-structured team improve how they plan, prioritise, and deliver. The expectation is for a pragmatic, hands-on coach who can apply the right approach for the environment rather than rigidly following a single framework.
This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys working closely with a team to establish sustainable delivery practices and measurable improvements.

Responsibilities
Work closely with the delivery team to improve ways of working, flow, and delivery outcomes
Coach team members and delivery leadership on effective prioritisation, planning, and feedback loops
Introduce appropriate agile and lean practices, tailored to the teams context
Help establish clear delivery structures without over-burdening the team with process
Support the development of a predictable and transparent delivery rhythm
Act as a trusted advisor rather than a process enforcer
Collaborate with stakeholders while maintaining a strong team-level focus
Essential Criteria:
Proven experience as an Agile Coach role
Experience improving underperforming or immature teams rather than inheriting high-performing ones
Strong xwzovoh understanding of multiple delivery frameworks (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, Lean) with a non-dogmatic approach
Ability to coach and influence, not just implement ceremonies
Experience working in complex, regulated, or government environments
Desirable Experience
Prior experience working within UK government or public sector organisations
Background working with technically strong engineering teams
Experience operating effectively within tight scope and single-team engagements
Ability to balance structure with pragmatism in constrained environments
