Proud, passionate, ambitious – it couldn’t be a more exciting time to work for Cotswold District Council. We’re searching for the very best people to join us!
It’s all change for Cotswold District Council. We’re bringing back inhouse a number of services that were previously outsourced, to help us take the council in an exciting new direction shaped around the needs of our residents, businesses, and communities. We’re busy creating a council that’s proactive and responsive in a fast-changing environment.
We’re looking for people who share our vision and ambition, who are innovative and creative in how we deliver services, have tenacity and a ‘can do’ attitude, and, most importantly, agree with us that silos are only for grain!
We’re looking for an exceptional leader to spearhead our place-shaping agenda as Director of Communities & Place. This is a brand new role that’ll have two key strands of focus. The first strand will lead on transforming a range of services that include planning, planning policy, economic development, tourism, and community engagement, as these services come back to the council. The second strand will be to work with the Chief Executive and wider leadership team to drive a culture of innovation and collaboration across the organisation, and to implement the council’s exciting new people strategy.
Your leadership will guide the strategic delivery of our community and place services, where you’ll take a business-like approach to achieve the highest standards of service delivery. Your instinct for seizing opportunities for improvement and adopting a commercial mindset will be essential as you engage with our teams, businesses, residents, and stakeholders to elevate our services. Your political astuteness will help navigate the complexities of local governance and foster collaboration across departments, driving the successful integration of this broad range of place services.
