WORKFORCE

Head of Strategic Client Services

Our vision is to create "A bigger and better Peterborough that grows the right way and through truly sustainable development and growth". And in order to achieve this vision, it's essential that we provide accessible, effective and efficient services, whilst ensuring council tax levels remain as low as possible. We will deliver services in different ways – some directly, and some through partners. Our approach is not based on ideals, but on pragmatism and a desire to deliver the very best for our residents and businesses.

We have established the platform, with innovative wide-ranging contractual arrangements in place for the delivery of many of our leisure and cultural services, back-office services, waste and street-scene services. The key to making those contracts deliver our residents' expecations will be in how those partnerships are developed and managed: not just to deliver today, but in twenty years and beyond.

That's the challenge for this role. And to meet it, you'll bring a range of experience from the public and private sectors, including evidence of service transformation, the ability to influence people, and of thinking strategically.

For more information on this role please visit this link in the first instance, or call Nev Wilkinson on 07730 764020 or Harpreet Braich on 07912 516974.

Closing date: 26 October 2012.
