Lead the change, shape the future.

Organisations show their character most clearly through how they respond to adversity. Thurrock has faced its recent challenges with dignity and determination, and our culture is now stronger and more purposeful than
ever before. We’re proud to be Thurrock.

LGR will bring change across Essex, but our residents and businesses will always deserve the highest standard of services. We’re looking for an outstanding and experienced public service leader with integrity, ambition and a high level of intrinsic motivation to maintain the trajectory and pace of our improvement work. Because – as long as we’re needed – we believe
that’s the right thing to do.
