TUTOR

Richard Scott joined LABC in 2018 as the Head of Network Change and Transformation. In this role, Richard worked closely with local authority managers and Heads of building control as they performed service delivery options appraisals to establish if alternative models of delivery were appropriate and would produce better results. From here Richard progressed to LABC’s Head of Performance & Standards, a role which involved raising national service delivery standards through rolling out ISO 9001 across LABC’s entire national network. 

Richard then became LABC’s Head of Member Support, a role where he supports Managers and Heads of Building Control by conducting, on request, an in-depth service delivery performance evaluation. As part of this Richard compares the local authority against others with similar work profiles. He analyses key operation variables, overall market performance, customer satisfaction scores, employee competencies, documents risks and concludes with recommendations that offer valuable opportunities for measurable improvements. 

Richard brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his role as tutor for this level 6 management qualification. He has worked in local authority building control for over 30 years, has in-depth knowledge and extensive experience in both delivering building control, managing a building control team, and delivering qualifications at all levels. Richard wrote and delivered the LABC CPD courses “So now you’re a manager” and “Building control management tools”. He developed the LABC Level 3 technical support and the Level 6 management qualification syllabi with the LABC L&D team and the Chartered Institute of Building. As a side to his other roles at LABC Richard has successfully delivered engaging qualification lectures for many years, feedback from his students is always positive, he is very well respected and liked by all of his cohorts.
