Welcome to Wiltshire Council

Become our next Chief Executive

We are an exceptional organisation, and we are looking for an outstanding leader to make sure we keep it that way.

Welcome

Under the dynamic leadership of our current political and officer team, Wiltshire Council has achieved significant success and impressive progress.

Established in 2009, we’re a successful unitary authority with a culture of excellence and a strong track record of delivery. We are looking for a Chief Executive to leverage these strengths, uphold our financial, social, and environmental commitments, and continue to build a resilient organisation that delivers the best for our communities.

As our next Chief Executive, you will lead an exceptional and committed team, delivering robust and sustainable solutions to the challenges our residents and businesses face. You will represent Wiltshire regionally and nationally, collaborating with NHS and public sector partners to advance our prevention agenda.  You will ensure astute financial leadership, maintaining sustainability and delivering the best value for our communities.

We welcome diverse candidates, including aspiring Chief Executives from inside or outside local government. What matters most is your proven leadership track record and your alignment with our values and vision.

We are looking for an outstanding leader to maintain our excellent standards whilst upholding and enhancing close relationships with The Leader and elected members.
