We're committed to building stronger, fairer and greener communities for all and this role will pay a significant part in ensuring that the service responds effectively to the needs of local communities and residents.

You will have a customer first approach and be able to embed and drive the core values of the council in everything you do, playing your part fully in a positive culture to ensure that our delivery of services is the best it can be. You will drive value for money and innovation in the management and delivery of services, acting as a strong commissioner and ensuring an effective and efficient service.

This is an exciting and important role and it's a great time to come and join our Council and Housing Directorate.
