Reporting to the Chief Executive, the Director will be expected to fulfil a key leadership role

in the Local Authority with responsibility for the delivery of programmes and

functions/services of the Local Authority. The role involves considerable engagement and

consensus building with Elected Members, staff as well as other external stakeholders.

In addition, the Director provides policy support and advice for members of the Strategic

Policy Committees, the Local Community Development Committee and any other relevant

Committees. In the current economic climate, senior managers are charged with service

delivery and change management in an environment of limited resource availability, both

human and financial. Delivery of efficient services and value for money is crucial as is the

management and motivation of staff.
