As a double award-winning council, Barnsley is the place of possibilities. We’re looking to the future with excitement and optimism and are seeking a visionary Service Director to lead our Law and Governance service. If you're passionate about making a difference and have a proven track record in legal and governance leadership, we'd love to hear from you.

The role:

In this role we will be looking to you to provide the strategic leadership and development of our Law and Governance business unit. You will be a member of the Core Directorate Management Team, work with the Leader, Chief Executive, Executive Director (Core Services), Senior Management Team and our Elected Members and to ensure the Council's vision, priorities and values are actively promoted and delivered in line with our ambitions and Council Plan.

Fully accountable to key stakeholders and other business units, you will influence, develop, and foster both effective internal and external relationships ensuring the provision and delivery of joined up services.
