About Us
Ealing Council is a diverse and ambitious organisation that serves one of the largest and most multi-cultural boroughs in London. We are committed to improving the lives of our residents by building strong and connected communities.
As a council we understand that people seek community, help and support from the people around them more than they will ever want council intervention and services. We believe that the most powerful thing that we can do as a council is strengthen social and community life in Ealing. Communities that are connected are healthy, thriving and resilient. We have started work to reframe the council’s role in the community and build a new relationship with our residents, and we are now looking for an exceptional person to lead this transformative agenda that impacts over 370,000 residents.
You will be a senior, dynamic leader who can strengthen community bonds, put power and resources into the hands of residents, and drive a new culture in the council. Your background may be in community organisations, or in advocacy and civic activism, or you may already be in a public sector role. Whatever the roots of your experience, you will need the strategic capability and leadership skills to mobilise a talented multidisciplinary team and to engage and influence across a diverse and vibrant borough.
Equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging is integral in our organisation and our borough. Our aim is to broaden diversity in senior roles, and we particularly welcome applications from people who represent the diversity of people and communities in the borough.
We value humanity, humour, camaraderie, learning and risk-taking as much as excellence. We are seeking a leader who will guide teams with care and bravery, opening up space for challenging conversations and rigorously advancing equity in our work and ways of being. Someone who pushes us to be better at showing up for one another and for our mission of reimagining local government so that it works for everyone.
The successful candidate will be joining a talented and cohesive management team, will lead a department of top quality professionals, and will be joining an organisation with an appetite for innovation and continuous improvement.
