Corporate Director (Gedling Borough Council)

We are already a high-performing council with an enviable reputation for great customer satisfaction and value for money. But we are restless to perform even better.

Our new political administration wants nothing less than the very best for local people and we are looking for two Corporate Directors to complete our senior leadership team with a particular focus on driving forward the growth of the borough and making it an even safer and more attractive place to live. This is a time for innovation; your own ideas and your ability to nurture the ideas ofothers around you will ensure that quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction are at the heart of everything that we do.

Enthusiasm, drive, vision and energy will all be needed in order to inspire and lead the organisation to deliver improvements in the quality of life of residents. If you want to be part of our new beginning and ambition, we'd love to hear from you.
