Gloucestershire is the envy of many and we’re looking for an exceptional new Chief Executive to take things to the next level.

Our ambitions are for Gloucestershire to be a magnet for innovation and investment, leading the pack in innovation and continuous improvement; leveraging data and technology to deliver transformation. We have thriving business hubs, natural beauty, history, culture, and opportunity with great geographical connectivity.

As you lead us forward, you will build on an enviable track record of stable leadership and a solid financial foundation – offering a rare opportunity for a leader whose ambitions match our own to make a lasting difference for Gloucestershire. A fundamental part of our future centers on celebrating diversity and inclusion; you’ll share our passion for that.

As Chief Executive, you’ll lead our talented senior team, setting the standards and ethos for colleagues across the organization to follow. You’ll be a credible leader on the local, regional, and national landscape, positioning Gloucestershire for continued success.

We welcome applications from experienced Chief Executives as well as candidates for whom this would be their first Chief Executive position. The ability to lead an innovative agenda and successfully transform complex organizations and systems is more important to us than previous tenure as a Chief Executive.
