Service Director: Place Shaping and Strategic Planning

South Gloucestershire is changing things for good: delivering homes, employment and infrastructure while creating places where people, businesses and nature thrive. Stable, ambitious and partnership-led, the council is turning long-term plans into lasting progress for its communities.

As Service Director for Place Shaping and Strategic Planning, you’ll own a 30-year growth story. You’ll secure an adopted Local Plan, guide nationally significant development and bring genuine influence to a maturing West of England Combined Authority partnership.

Both roles offer the rare freedom to think beyond organisational upheaval, supported by the stability and confidence of a well-run unitary. If you’re ready to lead with purpose, make ambitious ideas happen and leave a lasting mark on South Gloucestershire, these roles are perfect for you.

Closing date: Midnight, Sunday 27th September
