This is Redcar and Cleveland. We are an ambitious council keen to build on our strong track record of innovation and partnership working, ensuring that we create a flourishing future for the borough and all of its residents. Key to this is a committed workforce who always gives their best. Offering a fast paced, progressive working environment, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is a great career move.

Redcar and Cleveland is an area of great contrasts with world class industries, market towns, visitor destinations, beautiful coastline and stunning countryside. The Council continues to invest in the area to create opportunities for investment and growth. Key to this work is the Growth, Enterprise and Environment directorate which leads on our efforts to build upon successful investment and develop an exciting growth programme that will bring long-term improvements to the local economy and environment, create jobs and build vibrant communities.

We are looking for an outstanding leader who will drive change in our Borough.

Our Assistant Director – Environment will ensure clean, safe and attractive communities which local people are proud to call home and visitors return to time and again, as well as leading on strategic projects to deliver our ambitions to be the best we can be. Further improving the appearance of our borough is a key priority and you will have a clear and creative vision of how we can make the very most of our resources. As a member of a Combined Authority, we work seamlessly with our neighbours on major projects which benefit us all and you will be comfortable and confident in dealing with management at the highest level.
