Inspire the future of Surrey Heath

Surrey Heath is already one of the safest, cleanest and greenest places in the UK and our commitment to making it an even better place to live, work and enjoy is at the forefront of everything we do.

We want to continue to build and encourage communities where residents can live happily and healthily, while also aiming to deliver effective and efficient services better and faster. We have big ambitions to support and promote our local economy; enabling people to successfully work and do business in Surrey Heath.

As we start a new chapter as an organisation, we are looking for a strategic leader with a proven track record of delivering positive results. As Chief Executive, you’ll be a proven leader, a good listener and even better communicator who will put the needs of Surrey Heath’s people first in everything you do. You’ll be a strong decision maker who has their finger on the pulse, while also being able to ensure we remain on track in relation to our long-term vision of delivering high quality, innovative services to our customers.

We’re looking for someone who understands that strong public engagement is vital to our future. The new post holder will need to evaluate how we go about service delivery, and therefore also bring stability to the organisation. We’ll need our Chief Executive to connect, enthuse, and collaborate while also making sure Surrey Heath’s voice is heard.

We want to maintain all our current services in the Borough and take every opportunity to enhance and improve the lives and prospects for everyone who either resides, works or does business across the whole of Surrey Heath.

You’ll provide strong, collaborative leadership and strive to deliver high quality results, reinforce astute financial management and strengthen partnerships. If you have proven experience of forging good relationships with members, communities, and other key stakeholders, then we want to hear from you.
