Strength. Security. Stability. Success.

Experience will tell you – as it does us – that a council can only be truly successful when it’s built on stable finances, organisation-wide integrity and secure governance. As Shropshire Council makes steady progress on our journey of improvement and culture change, we’re busy building a special senior leadership team that will rebuild the council and Shropshire itself. The challenges are large and complex, but the opportunities are commensurate with the task; so if you’re looking for serious career development, you’ll be joining an organisation with ambition to match your own.

You’ll lead on future-proofing the council, so that we can assure our residents and partners we’re living within our means, upholding the highest standards of governance and legal integrity, and delivering the services that our communities need and deserve. Your influence and example will support colleagues across the Council to strengthen governance, deliver assurance and build confidence that we’re safe, compliant and well run.

Your track record will clearly show grip, discipline and credibility across finance, governance and legal, and you’ll bring experience of making difficult decisions with clarity, integrity and pace. A creative and courageous leader, you’ll be willing to challenge, drive change and do things differently, while building confidence and trust with members, officers, partners and external stakeholders. And you’ll balance dynamic leadership with building strong coalitions for change across the organisation, helping to create the stability, confidence and leadership needed for the future.
