Head of Democratic Services

Liverpool City Council is looking to recruit a full time Head of Democratic Services to join the team within the City Law and Governance Directorate on a permanent basis.

This is an opportunity to work in an exciting and forward-thinking local authority during a time of significant change and improvement following the recent Best Value report on the Council. The work will be fast paced and highly varied in nature. This post presents an attractive and challenging opportunity for a highly motivated individual to bring their enthusiasm to the team, build on their experience and modernise the service.
