Chief Executive, Rochdale

Rochdale is unique. It is where the global Co-operative Movement began and the bold, dynamic spirit demonstrated by those original Rochdale Pioneers, is something that we're looking for in our new Chief Executive.

We want a Chief Executive who has the drive, personality and commitment to make sure we fulfill our potential and shout about our success.

Our pioneering heritage is driving our future. We are delivering massive regeneration schemes, creating jobs and evolving what we do and how we do it to meet the needs of our residents.

As our new Chief Executive you will have the vision to take us forward and lead us through these exciting and challenging times.

You will inspire, motivate and empower employees and our partners, promoting a creative culture to ensure we are able to deliver excellence for our residents.

We are looking for someone from the public or private sector with a proven track record of delivering at the highest level.

If this sounds like you and you're ready to champion Rochdale, then visit our website or for an informal discussion please contact Liz McQue at North West Employers on 0161 214 7123.

Completed applications should be returned to this email.

Closing date: 17 February 2012.
