Assistant Director Housing and Contracts

Exeter City Council is launching its new approach to the future with a new senior management structure, fit for the wide range of challenges and exciting opportunities which lie ahead for one of the country's most successful and rapidly growing regional cities.

We are transforming our organisation through systems thinking and through an explicit focus on generic management skills and a resolutely corporate approach across the senior team.

As part of this major change programme, we now need to fill one of two Strategic Director posts, with overall responsibility for a wide range of both frontline and corporate services; a key post at Assistant Director level, with initial responsibility for housing and contracts; and a post at Corporate Manager level, responsible for policy, communications and community engagement.

For further details, please visit our website.

Closing date: 30 January 2012. Interview dates: 8, 9 & 10 February 2012.
