A place where history meets progress

Located in the heart of the Thames Valley, our borough is rich in areas of natural beauty, green space and waterways. Distinct towns and villages, each with their own identity and character, with excellent transport links with the nearby M4 or M3, and Crossrail which provides fast connections to London and beyond for our residents.  We have a thriving tourism destination in Windsor with major attractions including historic Windsor Castle and Legoland.  Ascot is home to the world-famous Ascot Racecourse while Maidenhead hosts our newly built Braywick Leisure Centre and is undergoing an exciting regeneration programme in and around the town centre.

Our vision of “Creating a sustainable borough of opportunity and innovation” is central to all that we do.  We are proud of what we have achieved, but we also know there is more to be done.  Our Corporate Plan crystallises focus on where we need to drive change including tackling climate change, providing quality infrastructure and improving housing affordability. As an organisation, we need to continue service transformation, to deliver better services to our residents, at the same time as balancing our budgets and our resources. We need to support our residents through cost of living rises, and to strengthen our approach to preventing inequalities by building on strong partnerships with our communities. This is an exciting time to join with the opportunity to lead and guide us through the next stages of our journey.

As our new Chief Executive, you will bring high levels of community focus, energy, commercial nous and entrepreneurialism.  You will possess excellent stakeholder management and strategic partnering capabilities and be politically astute. Your leadership and strong track record of delivery will speak for itself. If you are seeking the opportunity to work with a progressive and ambitious local authority, which places great emphasis on doing what’s right for all its communities, we want to hear from you.
