Head of Regeneration, Planning and Property, Basildon

While we're clear about the borough's potential to drive its own growth, there are very real challenges alongside all the opportunity. Negotiating and working with stakeholders from grass-roots to Whitehall, you'll bring experience, gravitas and flair to a role which goes to the heart of our ambition for Basildon.

Our commitment to create opportunity for the people of Basildon is underpinned by five promises.

Now we are ready to make one more. For those who lead our programme of change and deliver for our local people, we promise an opportunity for personal development and the chance to cement your professional reputation as a talent to watch.

Closing date: 19 December 2012.
