Barnsley is a high performing Council with ambition, flair and imagination. We have transformed relationships with communities through our award winning area council model, achieved sustainability despite austerity through our Future Council Programme and are revitalising Barnsley through investment in the Town Centre and Principal Towns. We are now seeking a new Executive Director to turn our vision for a brighter future, a better Barnsley into reality.

As the Executive Director Core Services, you will manage all of the Council’s corporate services, and lead the next phase in the transformation of the organisation, building on our Investors in People Gold accreditation. With a background in corporate services gained in either local government or beyond, you will also maintain our strong financial and organisational performance, champion our digital first agenda and support us to deliver our Barnsley 2030 vision.

Whether you are an existing director or searching the next step in your career, this role will give you the opportunity to make real impact.
