As an innovative and improving local authority, we are looking for a Chief Executive who can lead and manage the continuing strategic development of the Council. We are moving towards greater integration of services, with increased focus on outcomes in a drive to serve our community even better. This is an exciting, challenging and dynamic opportunity to shape the future direction of services in Moray by working with elected members to engage and inspire our workforce and community.
