Jobs

Cheshire East is a big borough with huge potential.  Home to 400,000 people - it’s a place with fantastic assets, great connectivity and serious economic clout. With a new Leader and Deputy Leader, and a new Chief Executive in place, the council is embarking on a major reset to ensure our financial sustainability and protect essential services - creating a council that is fit for the future and that can continue to deliver our ambitions for the borough.

This includes recruiting a new team of outstanding senior officers who will play a fundamental role in our transformation journey and make a huge impact across the council and the borough.

We know we have a challenging journey ahead of us – but the building blocks are in place and we are determined to emerge as a stronger and more innovative council, with the right people and the right structure.   Ultimately, this is about our communities and residents.  The prize ahead is our ability to offer them the excellent services and support they deserve and fully release the borough’s potential.

Our new Director of People will contribute to the leadership of the council and lead the council’s strategic thinking on workforce issues.  You will develop effective ways of implementing modern people management strategies and good practice, and you will also lead on the design, development, and implementation of the council’s strategic approach to the customer experience.  This is a new role in our new structure, which reflects our focus on people and you will ensure that we support colleagues and also put customers at the heart of the changes being made at the council.   Our staff are our greatest asset and we need to enable and develop them as we create a council and a culture that is fit for the future.
