You’re a natural organiser and communicator who takes pride in delivering great results. You’ll enjoy problem-solving, working with a range of stakeholders, and making a visible difference to the places our residents call home.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need to travel within the region and be confident leading on service delivery.
