Chief Executive

DCC/13/6618

£138k - £151k

We have an uncompromising commitment to put people at the centre of all we do in Derbyshire. We are driven by our values and our focus on meeting the needs of our citizens.

Despite our relatively economic strength we cannot lose our focus on supporting families and individuals dealing with particular problems, and we are working closely with partners to address these. Times are tough and there is much to do. We remain committed to build a new way of working that is innovative, sustainable and can deliver our community's vision and aspirations.

Our new Chief Executive will bring excellent strategic leadership skills and a grasp of the challenges and opportunities facing the public sector and our organisation. You will be value driven, with a passion for the public service and sharp appreciation of the benefits of collaboration – and you will bring the energy, vision and ambition we need to take us through, and beyond the challenges ahead.

For a confidential and informal discussion about this exciting opportunity, please contact the Leader of the Council, Councillor Anne Western, on 01629 536002.

Application packs for all vacancies are available online on this website or from Call Derbyshire on 08 456 058 058
