You will be joining a small but progressive leadership team that will enable you to influence and work within a leadership culture that is open to change and innovation.

You will also provide high level professional advice to the Council and Cabinet Members on your service areas and, lead on systems change to improve the stock and outcomes for tenants, whilst delivering real plans for more energy efficient homes and the shift to net zero carbon.

The Council has been through significant changes and challenges over the past couple of years. We are committed to continuing our improvement journey, transforming and modernising the council business to get the best outcomes for Sandwell residents. This opportunity presents not only a huge challenge but also a great opportunity to lead, develop and

continuously improve a wide range of business-critical services whilst ensuring the best tenant experience.
