Drive Change. Shape Lives. Lead Boldly.
Welcome
Thank you for your interest in joining Leeds City Council. We are recruiting to two exciting senior leadership roles with real impact in our city - across its physical and economic development, environment and communities – for the benefit of local people.
Leeds is a large, contemporary and richly diverse city and our ambition is for everyone to share in its success. Our Leeds Ambitions set out our vision for the city, with a clear central mission to tackle poverty and inequality and improve quality of life for everyone who calls Leeds home.
At the heart of this vision are four priorities:
Healthy – better health and wellbeing
Growing – inclusive economic growth
Thriving – strong, connected communities
Resilient – a sustainable future
We know we cannot achieve our goals alone. These priorities are a team effort and we embrace a Team Leeds approach, uniting with partners and communities to turn ambition into action.
Leeds City Council is one of the largest employers in the region, with approximately 14,000 colleagues working across a wide range of roles and services. As a council we have great pride in our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion for our staff and our communities.
Our strong values of openness, honesty and trust guide everything we do. Our colleagues talk about the pride they feel in making a difference, and in return for their dedication and contribution we offer a workplace where people feel supported, that celebrates people for who they are and encourages everyone to grow.
We are looking for leadership candidates ready to represent the city at all levels, promoting its continued growth and competitiveness by taking a bold, creative and compassionate approach to help our city and its people reach their full potential. We are recruiting to the following roles:
· Head of Place and Regeneration Programmes
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about this opportunity to shape our city and create a better future for our residents. We look forward to hearing from you.
