Dear Applicant

The role of Chief Executive Officer represents an exciting opportunity to be instrumental in helping to build on Fareham Borough Council’s outstanding achievements to date.

A meticulously planned, highly strategic approach has underpinned our reputation for delivering high quality services and excellent value for money. Indeed, we are very proud of the fact that our Council Tax is one of the lowest in the country. And our commitment to the environment is underlined by recycling rates that are among the country’s highest.

Blending innovative thinking with financial security, our belief is to look to the future while leaving nothing to chance. We want to preserve all that is good about Fareham, while at the same time increasing prosperity and making it an even more prosperous, safe and attractive place to live and work.

The duality of this approach will be reflected in the nature of your brief. As head of paid service you will ensure that our services are efficiently and effectively delivered to meet the needs of all members of our community. Yet as the lead advisor to the Executive Leader you will challenge the status quo - devising strategies that transform service provision while drawing on your charisma and political acumen to carry people with you.

Entrepreneurial yet prudent, Fareham Borough Council is a model of agile thinking. As Chief Executive Officer you will demonstrate the same qualities as you help lead us to an even brighter future.

I look forward to receiving your application.

Yours sincerely

Councillor Seán Woodward
Executive Leader of the Council
