Be an inspirational place shaper for Wokingham. Creating new communities and developing existing communities through new housing, community infrastructure and regeneration. Working across the Council, with our external partners and our residents, help us shape and create new and vibrant communities.

As our Executive Director for Place, you will lead an outward-looking and forward-thinking place-shaping agenda. This is about far more than traditional operational service delivery: it is about strategically leading and shaping a broad and dynamic portfolio of services including planning, climate change; environment services, highways and transport, major projects, culture and economic development. Creating places for all, where people can thrive.

Wokingham is an ambitious Borough, fast-growing in population, with a resilient economy, and a strong partnership network. Global businesses such as Microsoft, Oracle and Shinfield Studios, along with the University of Reading are within our place, meaning there are many and significant opportunities for partnership working and for someone who is passionate about place making and shaping.

We are looking for an experienced, resilient and visible senior leader who is able to create a genuine connection to the borough. Someone with a strong track record of operating at strategic level in a complex political environment, and who brings a modern business approach. Someone who can bring teams together behind a shared vision, building a cohesive directorate, and work across businesses, schools and communities . Someone who is inspirational, innovative and embraces change.

If you are passionate about place shaping and creating the conditions for communities and businesses to flourish, we want to hear from you.
