People, Communities and Resources are the three areas around which we are creating a new framework for our business.

Our strategic leadership team is guiding the council on this journey; challenging our practices, developing our potential and nurturing our people.

We are now looking for three heads of service to support the leadership team, ensuring the delivery of highly cost effective services within our Communities Directorate.
