Ensure high-quality environmental, performance and compliance data is captured, analysed and used to inform investment, risk management and service improvement.
Identify and maximise income generation opportunities and external funding to support environmental services and neighbourhood improvement.
Provide clear, high-quality professional advice, reports and briefings to Elected Members, committees, regulators and senior officers.
Lead financial, workforce, performance, contract and risk management across all services, ensuring value for money and continuous improvement.
Chair and give professional advice on behalf of the Council to complex and challenging meetings.
Contribute to the wider Operational Services leadership team and corporate priorities, supporting integrated service delivery across the Council.
Lead business continuity, emergency planning and risk management arrangements, acting as a member of the Council’s Emergency Response Team when required
