As Assistant Director for Community & Culture, you’ll take charge of services ranging from Events, Culture and Arts to Leisure, Parks and Libraries.

We want a resident-centric culture that’s open to new models of service delivery, with teams inspired to deliver for our borough’s vibrant communities. With your expert leadership, staff will perform at their best, providing high quality services that meet national standards.
