Sheffield is a brilliant city – resourceful, inventive, welcoming – a place rooted in its history but ambitious for the future.  We are proud to work for Sheffield: we want to help support its residents, communities and businesses to thrive; to deliver the very best public services that we can; and to lead, with ambition and purpose, a city whose best days are ahead of it.

We have an exciting new opportunity to be a part of the team driving the organisation forward.  Working directly with our new Chief Executive, Kate Josephs, as her Head of Office, you will be at the heart of the organisation, helping Kate and the wider leadership to deliver real change for the people and communities of Sheffield.  You will be resourceful, adaptable and organised, able to spot the big issues; provide authoritative advice and effective support; and with an eye for detail as well.  Highly motivated and skilled in leading projects and teams, you will bring your knowledge and experience to bear on some of the biggest challenges and opportunities we have as a city.  You will be confident in working across different areas of the council’s agenda, adept at working in a political environment, and with the ability to build relationships with partners at national, regional and local level.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.  For an informal discussion about the role please contact James Henderson on 0114 205 3126.

We value our diverse workforce and aim to work together to make the most of our differences.  We have under-representation in terms of employees with a disability and from a Black, Asian, or other minority ethnic background and therefore particularly welcome applicants from these communities.
