WORKFORCE

Head of Development, Economic & Cultural Services

We believe that the best employers offer genuine mutual advantage. So as we harness your creativity, vision and strategic ability, you get unmissably broad exposure to ground-breaking projects, in which you'll play a vital role.

With a rich variety of projects underway in the Council – not to mention unlimited potential for the future – this role is at the heart of delivering an improved and more sustainable future for the communities we serve. As a member of the senior management team, you will lead a very talented team who've already built up significant momentum.

Your background need not be in a technical field, because we're more interested in your ability to make things happen than in your current area of expertise; but you must have a deep and instinctive grasp of how to work with communities to shape places that they're passionate about. Intellectually strong, with first-class communication and management skills, you'll bring your own considerable energy and drive to an organisation with clear purpose, direction and vision.

For more information, please visit our website or call Evelyn Dougherty on 0845 601 0649 for an informal conversation.

Closing date: noon, 25 July.
