A set of transformation projects are being planned to support the delivery of the new Housing Strategy and to meet challenging housing demand and supply challenges within Dorset. The role would involve work to support and deliver those projects and to achieve strong and successful outcomes.

IF YOU WISH TO APPLY PLEASE RESPOND FIRSTLY WITH AN UP TO DATE CV, AVAILABILITY/ NOTICE PERIOD, THE ROLE YOU WOULD LIKE TO APPLY FOR & THE HOURLY RATE YOU REQUIRE.
