Ready to give our borough better?
That's ambition at work.

Haringey has potential. We’re investing in creating a better
borough for all our residents, with improved housing, thriving
streets, a regenerated Tottenham, strong communities and
safer neighbourhoods – somewhere people can be proud to
live and work. We’re overhauling our approach to customer
services and reinforcing the infrastructure that supports our
frontline services. To do this we need people to join our
senior team, people who share our determination to deliver
wide-reaching programmes. In these key roles, you’ll be at
the heart of our efforts, making large-scale change a reality
and helping make Haringey London’s borough of choice.

Deputy Chief Executive

You’ll have a critical, wide-ranging role that involves advising council
leaders and helping to set our strategic direction. You’ll work directly
with senior managers too, ensuring they have the resources to deliver
transformation. The success of these initiatives will depend on instilling
a strong sense of purpose, so you’ll be the driving force behind a
change in thinking: encouraging optimism and responsibility. Under
your influence, our senior staff will be inspired to create effective plans
for our services and to take responsibility for their success.

All these roles call for experienced senior managers who have
successfully led transformation before. Thanks to this background,
you’ll understand the challenges and the need to inspire the teams,
services and partners involved. Whatever your specialist field,
you must be a natural leader who sees the future as we do.
