Your recruitment journey
The process has been designed to provide candidates with the opportunity to demonstrate strategic leadership, technical finance capability and values alignment across a thorough but supportive assessment journey.
We appreciate the diary demands on senior leaders. While some early stages of the process may retain a degree of flexibility, the officer-led and final member panel stages are more fixed given the number of diaries involved. If any of the above dates present challenges, please let us know as early as possible and we will seek to accommodate availability where feasible.
Confidential conversations
We recognise this is a significant leadership decision and would be delighted to discuss the opportunity, context and role in confidence.
