Nottingham is a bold, vibrant, and exciting Core City, at the heart of the UK – alive with potential and ambition – though not one without its challenges. However, Nottingham City Council has faced up to these significant challenges. We’re approaching the future with courage, energy, and a clear plan to put things right for the people of Nottingham. Our vision is of a bold transformation to deliver meaningful change for our residents, and we’re determined to get there.
We’ve made a promising start, with the Commissioners’ report last summer recognising our substantial progress. Our new Chief Executive has fostered a unified, dynamic approach to transformation, allowing us to pick up the pace still further. We’ve come a long way, but know that there is more to do, which is why we’re recruiting a cohort of new senior leaders who will accelerate our momentum, and ensure we achieve our ambitious vision at even greater pace.
Role Overview
You’ll provide outstanding and inspiring leadership and direction across a range of services including Legal, Electoral, Democratic, Governance, Emergency Planning and Health & Safety. You’ll also be a key advisor for elected members, colleagues within traded services, and external partners (including HM Coroner). What will success look like? A continuously high performing and improving service, through which the Council operates best practice arrangements for corporate governance and decision-making, keeps abreast of relevant legislation, responds appropriately to external bodies, and fulfils its statutory obligations. Qualifications
A qualified solicitor, you’ll have significant experience of senior leadership of this portfolio in the public sector, and a consistent track record of success is a must. Your subject knowledge must be exceptional, and will be paired with a level of analysis and insight commensurate with the most complex and nuanced issues. A clear, pragmatic communicator, with close first-hand knowledge of the democratic context, you’ll have the credibility and confidence to provide unambiguous and empirical advice that enables the Council to progress.
