Our context …

… is changing rapidly. We need to become more selfsufficient as a Council and less dependent on government. We need to deliver safe, secure and high quality services for our most vulnerable whist enabling greater self-sufficiency for our citizens. And to fund that, we need to build our local economy, invest in our local talent and drive up personal aspirations. We need to drive our own destiny – and so we need to become more business-like and focused in all that we do.

Your context …

… is shifting too, because the kind of challenges that we face and our ambitions are exactly the type of environment that appeals. And you have an answer to the challenge posed above - because you know how you will need to adapt your business mind to the context of an organisation that wants to be business-like, but in a democratically accountable, and therefore transparent setting.

Your background …

… is ideally that of a leader who has successfully delivered change on a large scale, and ideally in more than one sector. Perhaps you came originally from the private sector. Perhaps your heart is in the public sector, but your head is solidly business-like, if community focused. And you yearn for the chance to lead, re-invent and shape a culture that will deliver a confident, aspiring and enabling mindset and talent pool at the heart of an economy like Norfolk.

Next steps …
