A unique environment. A unique challenge.

The Council of the Isles of Scilly is England's smallest unitary authority, yet it delivers the widest range of services of any council in the country. A population of just over 2,100 people inhabit five islands.

Whilst it is likely you will have experience of leading social care teams, well rounded leadership skills are equally important in terms of a specific background. You must be able to think strategically in a regional and national context whilst having the ability to deliver services on the ground. The size and location of the islands provide great opportunities to develop partnerships which can be innovative and deliver real benefits. High Speed Broadband arrives on the islands in 2014 and that will introduce an even wider range of opportunities. As an organisation, the Council needs to question the way it delivers services, the way in which it is structured and the way it interacts with local communities. New service delivery models must be introduced if this authority is to be effective for our community in the future.
