It’s an exciting time to join the Stevenage team. Major projects are building momentum, capitalising on our successes such as our recent Towns Fund bid; there is a clear sense of direction and purpose within the borough, which is translating into visible outcomes across the borough. And we continue to review and evaluate how we do things, evaluating new opportunities and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement in all that we do. We never stand still.
I look forward to working closely with whoever takes on this role. I’m keen that the appointed candidate is someone who wants to take the initiative to step forward and be accountable; and to develop their leadership and technical skills in an organisation that is serious about professional development. It’s important that you have a really good grasp on the fundamentals of the role – ensuring that sound financial management principles and practice underpins what we do.
