A LEADERSHIP ROLE AT THE CENTRE OF CHANGE With a clear destination now set for the changes in local government in Essex, there couldn’t be a more exciting professional opportunity than being part of the transition to a new unitary authority. With a shadow LGR board already in place for the last six months, we are already building momentum that is founded on exceptional relationships between senior members and officers and a shared commitment to seeing North East Essex Council come into being. This is an opportunity that will suit an experienced and accomplished finance professional – who can offer the right blend of technical expertise alongside a sophisticated appreciation of the political and strategic context of such a role: operating at strategic director level. The ability to foster positive relationships with colleagues, politicians and partner organisations will be key. Colchester is home to around 13% of Essex’s residents, identifying us as the largest district council in the county by population, and the third biggest in England. This role offers a compelling professional opportunity to operate at scale from day one, while setting the foundations for the future.
