Director of Place

Shetland Islands Council Director of Place £125k plus Distant Islands Allowance UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL OF PEOPLE & PLACE Island life demands a resilient and resourceful outlook, and a readiness to work with others to draw on shared expertise in pursuit of self-sufficiency. Ours is a community that is defined by a strong sense of place and common purpose. We have a great legacy on which to build, and right now there is much to do. This is a key strategic role in supporting the economic success of our islands – ensuring we have the right infrastructure and investment for our unique setting. You'll work in partnership with a huge array of stakeholders to shape a sustainable and forward-thinking approach, ensuring we can deliver the homes and the economic opportunities that will enable our community to prosper and preserve our world-famous natural environment.  And where else might your working week include spaceports, inter-island tunnels, renewable energy, and ports & harbours? This is a place role with a difference, and a very different kind of place. Visit www.join-shetland.co.uk to find out more.
