Further Information
Stockton-on-Tees is an ambitious, innovative Borough with great vision. It’s a place famous for bold decisions – the modern railway and the friction match were born here and more recently the COVID-19 Novavax vaccine was manufactured here.
Based in the North East of England, within the Tees Valley, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is a local authority with big plans to improve the Borough’s six towns while making a real, positive difference to our residents’ lives, supporting our businesses, attracting inward investment and welcoming visitors. Our population of 200,000 is growing, business is booming, and our residents tell us they are happy to live here.
But we also face important challenges. We have affluent areas alongside areas of deprivation. We’re not afraid to work hard and make brave decisions to tackle this inequality and improve the lives of residents of all ages and help the Borough grow.
Our new Chief Executive, members and officers are working together to further develop our vision and plans for the future.
We are looking for an experienced and dedicated senior leader to join our corporate management team to help shape and deliver our ambitious journey of change and transformation.
We hold our children at the heart of everything we do, embedding relationship-based practice to get the very best outcomes for children and young people. You will be a highly capable leader with a strong understanding of social work practice for children and young people.
Bring your career to Stockton-on-Tees and help us continue to be an ambitious council which works for everyone.
