Our CEO recently said that Cornwall is ‘a big, confident place-leading authority.’ This applies as much to our organisation, as our geography. We are looking for a new senior executive with the experience and insight to match.
This role leads a team of around 120 people to deliver:
- legal and democratic services,
- internal audit, and
- elections
You will also be the Council’s statutory Monitoring Officer and part of the Corporate Leadership Team. You will work closely with the CEO and colleagues to promote high standards in public life and ensure effective governance.
As we embark on our second period of devolution, you will provide expertise on the benefits and safeguards of this opportunity.
Good governance also underpins our ambition to improve community engagement in civic life.
You will be passionate about the role of local government in fostering a thriving democracy. Our stewardship role is also vital.
You will be accountable for ensuring we have robust assurance and risk management arrangements in place.
Candidates must have a legal qualification. They must also show that they have extensive professional experience at a senior level in a large, complex organisation.
Variety is one of the key characteristics of this job. You will need to demonstrate:
- adaptability
- resilience and
- a curiosity about new opportunities and challenges
