Chief Executive, Dorset County Council

From our Jurassic Coast to our scenic countryside, you might think that you already know Dorset. But there's a lot more to our county than meets the eye. You might be surprised to learn just how much we've achieved and how ambitious we are. We want to develop our services to become still more efficient and effective, and more responsive to our communities' needs. Working with elected members, you'll drive this change. And you'll inspire others to embrace it, by strengthening partnerships with businesses and with other public bodies. You'll enable community engagement, promoting our services across the county and beyond. And, as well as bringing plenty of your own ideas and vision, you'll empower others to share theirs. You'll make even more things happen in Dorset.

Closing date: 10 June 2012.
