Horsham is often identified as one of the most desirable places to live in the UK. We’ve got a great deal going for us – historic market towns, easy access to London and the south coast, and a strong local economy with ambitions for continued growth. It could be the ideal location for your professional ambitions.

 

These will be key roles in supporting our ambitions for Horsham, offering dynamic leadership and ensuring consistent high quality service delivery throughout our organisation.
