Chief Executive

Moray offers all that is best in Scotland with its own unique identity. From the snow capped peaks of the Cairngorms to the unspoilt coastline of the Moray Firth, Moray encompasses some of Britain's most magnificent countryside with an abundance of rich natural beauty making it a popular place to live and work.

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.

If you have substantial experience and success in managing at a senior level in the public sector and are able to demonstrate a commitment to the delivery of top quality public services then we would like to hear from you. You must be an innovative thinker, focused on outcomes that make real differences and be capable of delivering priorities.

If you can help us to build on our success we would welcome your application. For more details and to apply please visit this link.
