About Us: North Warwickshire is a great place to work. We are small enough to be agile and personal, yet ambitious, innovative and committed to delivering excellent services. Member and officer relationships are strong, staff satisfaction is high, and our residents report well above average levels of happiness and confidence in the council. We have built a culture based on trust, collaboration and modern working practices. We have embraced flexible working, invested in digital transformation and created teams who enjoy what they do and stay because they feel they make a genuine impact. This is an organisation that works jointly across services with shared values and a clear purpose. About You: You will be a strategic, motivated and politically aware leader with the professional credibility to act as our Section 151 Officer. You will bring senior experience from complex services, the confidence to work closely with Members and the drive to lead major programmes of change.
