East Sussex is a high performing authority serving strong local communities.

Surrounded by unspoilt countryside and coastal towns that are vibrant and inviting, many of our residents are very satisfied with their quality of life. However, a number of our communities are facing significant challenges and rely heavily on the core services that we provide with our partners.

The Chief Operating Officer leads a range of support functions that are critical to the effectiveness of the organisation including Property, Business Operations, Finance and Human Resources & Organisation Development. It also has responsibility for the delivery of IT & Digital, Procurement and Internal Audit services which is provided via our Orbis Partnership with neighbouring councils.

This is your opportunity to build on very strong foundations and help shape the way the whole organisation responds to the challenges of the future.

You will join a highly talented team of subject matter experts and contribute fully to the experienced and ambitious corporate leadership group that works as One Council.
