You must be capable of gaining an understanding of contract compliance and contract monitoring processes.

In addition, we then also have a benefits package which has everything from dog care to day care, holidays at home or abroad, long service awards, support groups, cycle to work schemes and eye tests plus much more.

**Development**:We don't believe development stops when you achieve a senior leadership role so you'll get the opportunity for support, growth, development and both personal/professional qualifications once you join. There will be time for supportive reflection and supervision for yourself, opportunities for multidisciplinary initiatives, mentoring, and you'll have the opportunity to make a difference, feel valued and achieve the job satisfaction you've always wanted - somewhere where your successes will be celebrated, your ideas listened to and your voice heard.

**Flexibility**:We're passionate about people making the most of their time away from work so are pleased to support flexibly working wherever possible. We have all enjoyed the benefits of working from home so we're happy to support hybrid working when we can, whilst also appreciating the benefits that the office environment and face-to-face meetings provides.

**Please ensure you have uploaded and attached your supporting statement to evidence how you meet the criteria for the role. The panel may be unable to shortlist you for interview without this evidence.**

You will be required to provide a car for use in connection with the duties of this post and must be insured for business use. However, we may consider you if you cannot drive because of a disability.

In return Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on LCC Vacancies website.
