There is a real vibrancy and excitement around County Durham and the council’s ambitious future aspirations for our residents and communities. We are the largest council in the region and are committed to playing a central role regionally and nationally. We’re a forward-thinking area with a strong sense of community. Our friendly people, fascinating history and beautiful natural environment, from the dales to the coast, are what makes our county great.

With the upcoming retirement of our current Corporate Director, we now offer an exciting opportunity for an exceptional, experienced, and dynamic leader ready to take the next step in their career. This role is key to ensuring we continue providing outstanding services to our residents, communities, businesses, and visitors, while protecting and nurturing our exceptional natural environment and guiding us towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.

Reporting to our Chief Executive, in this high-profile, strategic leadership role you will lead the development and delivery of our approach to climate change and environment across the diverse range of front-line services within the portfolio. You’ll play a key role in leading the authority’s commitment to deliver exceptional services and your leadership of our large, diverse and dispersed workforce will help us to deliver our ambitious environmental agenda, whilst maximising productivity, improving collaboration and driving culture change.

Supporting our commitment to deliver a cleaner, greener future for our county in an inclusive and sustainable way, you’ll build, nurture and sustain effective multi-agency partnerships across the county and the wider region, ensuring the delivery of integrated, joined-up, fit for purpose and responsive services. Equally important to us is your style of leadership; you’ll be a role model for best practice and innovation, an environmental champion, able to inspire and encourage our committed, dedicated workforce and partners to deliver on our key priorities across our communities. You will thrive on the challenge presented by the size and scale of one of the country’s largest unitary councils.

If you have the energy, enthusiasm and skills to make a real impact and deliver the best possible outcomes, then we would like to hear from you. For a confidential discussion about this exciting role, please contact our consultants at Penna:
