Full time

Leeds is a city that’s serious about reducing consumption, increasing recycling and promoting a low carbon economy.  We aspire to be the Best Council in the Best City in the UK with a very clear focus on inclusive growth, promoting health and well-being and delivering sound environmental practice. The management of the city’s waste through services we provide and our influence to change the behaviours of business and residential communities are key to achieving our goal of carbon neutrality by 2030. The city’s waste strategy is grounded in reducing carbon, with clear messages for practical change that our city is increasingly ready to hear and heed. We are proud to have a strong ethos of in-house provision and are on the cusp of delivering a significant review of our services of a scale that most will never experience in their careers. Against this backdrop, we need a Chief Officer with that rare blend of strategic perspective with a genuine talent for engaging and supporting our workforce to be their best at work, ensuring the provision of effective and reliable operational services. Someone who can not only bring creative and ambitious ideas, but is able to deliver through real pragmatism and personal resilience. It’s an exciting time for the service and whilst we’ll have considerable expectations of you, we promise you a supportive and a hugely rewarding experience at work with the chance to make a real and lasting difference to our city.

Please contact either James Rogers (0113 3788241) or Helen Freeman (07891 271073) at Leeds City Council for a confidential informal discussion about the role.
