Role: Director of Environment and Regulatory Services
Location: York / Hybrid
Contract: Full-time / Permanent
Salary: £98,989 to £109,529 per annum plus relocation support and pay award pending from 1st April 2025
We are seeking an inspirational and visible leader to lead key services across environment, waste, planning, development management, building control, land charges, public protection, emergency planning and highways whilst fostering a culture that supports the Council’s priorities and values.
The role is key to enhancing our city spaces whilst retaining our renowned culture and heritage, mixing the best of tradition and the modern. There is an expectation that this role will be influential in growing and developing the City through strong strategic partnership working to collaboratively continue to enhance our success stories.
This role will represent the Council regionally and nationally and work closely with York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority to deliver ambitions for the City of York. One of the core areas of focus is our devolution deal, unlocking funding and supporting the COO and other Directors to achieve this, delivering infrastructure and service improvement.
The role will also deliver elements of the new Local Plan and be heavily involved with a number of cutting edge projects such as The York Central scheme and our city Movement and Place Plan. The role will also involve creating a more community facing public realm service and establishing our neighbourhood caretakers scheme.
This broad role will allow you to have real impact, high profile recognition and be a fantastic platform to further your career, in our great city. Equally you will find that the role will provide professional challenge and complexity. Our size means that we are large enough to provide the rich mix of complexities facing local government, but at the same time we are small enough to enable you to get things done.
