BE THE DIFFERENCE IN BEXLEY
Bexley is a borough with a difference. Although we are one of London’s smaller boroughs, Bexley is a place where you can make a real impact; and where you can expect to get involved in a much wider range and diversity of work. It’s a changing borough, with growing numbers of younger and older residents – so we need to adapt our services to meet different needs. There’s lots to do. We have some great success stories where we are setting standards that others aspire to. But we recognise where there is also scope for improvement in some aspects of our work – and we are committed to getting it right.
This is a key leadership role within the organisation, with a varied portfolio that includes:
· Communities
· Leisure Services
· Parks and Open Spaces
· Environmental Services
· Parking Enforcement (Shared Service with Bromley)
· Housing Services
· Strategic Planning, Regeneration & Implementation
· Planning & Regulatory Services
· Economic Development & Skills
· Major Projects
· Highways, Traffic & Infrastructure
· Heat Schemes, Projects & Programmes
The emphasis for this role will be on ensuring strategic oversight of these services, and with a number being delivered via an outsourced model, highly effective contract management skills will be key. While you are not expected to bring expertise in all of the role’s portfolio, it’s important that you can demonstrate expertise in the Housing, Planning and Regeneration arena. You’ll bring a highly developed appreciation of how these areas can combine to support our longer-term growth agenda. Passionate about delivering the very best in customer service, you’ll continue to look for opportunities to modernise our provision and improve outcomes.

Closing date: 13th July.
