Think big. Act bigger.

Ask anyone, and they’ll agree that Shropshire’s a beautiful county, and a great place to live and work. But like us, you’ll think a bit bigger than that. Because we’re also a large, rural county of some 330,000 people, where tradition and innovation exist together. A place full of potential. A county of opportunity – both for the people who live and work here, and for someone like you, who brings the ideas and ambition to unlock our huge potential.

It’s a pivotal moment to join Shropshire Council. The last few years have been tough, and the financial challenges are still huge. But we’re changing and improving, and together we’re on a journey to a future where we think big – and act even bigger.  

This role is all about shaping the long-term future and potential of the whole county, and driving the economic growth our residents and businesses need. It’s about connecting communities, working with partners in the public and private sectors. It’s about looking beyond department and silos, bringing people and partners together, and turning a shared vision into a shared reality.

This is a vital role in the future of Shropshire, both as a county and as a council. So you’ll need a track record of success that’s second to none, and the confidence to make significant long-term decisions. But above all, it’s about ambition: for yourself, for the council, and for Shropshire.
