Leading with integrity. Governing with confidence. Delivering for Islington.
Islington is amazing - full of creativity, energy, difference, and diversity - a place with a rich history of challenging norms and inspiring progress. We are looking for an exceptional legal and governance leader to help us work together for a more equal future.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will be a trusted adviser to elected members, senior officers and services across the council. You will provide clear legal assurance, strengthen democratic governance and importantly, as a member of the Corporate Management Team, you will help shape the future of our organisation and our place.
This is a high-profile opportunity to lead a respected legal and governance function, influence at the most senior levels and bring calm, credible judgement to a complex and politically sensitive environment.
We are looking for someone who combines professional authority with collaborative leadership - someone who is pragmatic, can inspire confidence, manage risk, support innovation and keep residents at the heart of good governance.
If you are ready to make your mark at the heart of local democracy, we would like to hear from you.
