Description

Scottish Borders Council continues to build on the transformational change programme introduced over recent years. Against a backdrop of challenging budget constraints and financial uncertainty we are determined to extract maximum value from the introduction of innovative service models.

With your vision, energy and commitment we will continue to improve the way the Council plans and delivers its services, providing the level and standard of service that the people of the Borders deserve. This is your chance to drive comprehensive and creative change programmes whilst ensuring sound corporate governance and performance excellence.

Your leadership, team building and influencing skills will help underpin the critical role the Council plays with stakeholders and partners in planning for the future prosperity of the region.
