We are delighted that you’re interested in joining our team in Shropshire - you will be joining us at a truly exciting time. We have an excellent track record of service delivery, partnership working and customer service and we were recently rated as a four star council for the fourth year running. Whilst we are proud of our achievements, we recognise that even greater effort will be required to maintain and build on our successes.

In Shropshire we are genuinely committed to making life better for everyone in the county - and we mean everyone! The new unitary council, Shropshire Council will bring significant improvements to the quality of life locally through even better and more cost effective services, simpler and easier access to services locally and through greater accountability to and involvement of local people.

The agenda ahead is a very challenging one but we have a strong foundation of success and continuous service improvement. Looking towards the future this role is both crucial in ensuring the Council meets its strategic objectives and in developing the new focus for our organisation. We would like to hear from individuals who are innovative, creative, customer focused and strategic- you will relish the opportunity to join an authority that puts the needs of our communities at the heart of everything we do and genuinely strives to deliver high quality services to each and every one of our citizens.

As you will see from this dedicated microsite, this role is key in helping us to achieve our ambitious plans for the future. You will bring a service-led approach to leadership coupled with a strong track record of inter-agency working. In return you will get the opportunity to really prove yourself in your chosen career at a senior level and enjoy the full commitment and support of Members, the senior management team and partners.

Shropshire Council is a very exciting and rewarding place to work. If you genuinely want to make a difference then Shropshire Council is the place for you.
