Welcome to the best of Lancashire all in one place!

Dear applicant,

Thank you so much for showing interest in applying to be our new Director of Legal & Governance (Monitoring Officer):

Our leadership team is award-winning, and we strive for excellence, innovation, and creativity in what we do each day to support our local communities and our employees.

 We’re looking for talented people who care. Care about doing a great job to drive forward our excellent services and projects, care about those who we are serving — residents, businesses, and visitors to South Ribble and Chorley – and care about our people and teams who, under your leadership, can achieve the absolute best.

Over half of our workforce is shared across the two Councils and this exciting opportunity will be working across both organisations. Working in this way is unique, exciting, challenging and rewarding. As we look towards Local Government Reorganisation, our way of working is the future and requires a leadership team who is dynamic, adaptable, and flexible to meet the priorities of both Councils.

You will be supported by teams of people who work for both, so there is a culture of cross-organisation working, learning and best practice sharing.

We’re proud to be able to deliver excellent day-to-day services, to look towards key investment projects to support our communities, and to drive forward robust governance arrangements to make this happen.

Our teams are strong and dedicated to making real positive change and our leadership team is at the heart of this.

If you think you can bring your talent, expertise, experience, and drive to our team, please contact us and apply.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Sinnott
Chief Executive
Chorley Council and South Ribble Borough Council
