Allerdale Borough Council has a clear set of priorities to help it shape future service provision for its 96,000 residents.

The Role:
· To provide leadership, vision and strategic direction to the Council and inspire staff to deliver the Council's vision, values and objectives
· To develop effective structures and partnerships that will deliver cost effective and customer focused Council services
· To carry out the role of Head of Paid Service
The Candidate:
· An outstanding leader with proven senior management experience in an organisation of comparable scale and complexity
· Personal experience of leading the full range of Council services through change at a strategic level
· A track record of successfully delivering innovative new ways of working and partnerships
