Covering one of the most beautiful parts of the country, with thriving villages, market towns, hamlets and a host of heritage attractions, North Warwickshire has a lot to offer.

We are committed to delivering our local plan ambitions and developing digital solutions to deliver services, all of which provide an exciting opportunity to join us to enhance our reputation as the partner of choice locally and the source of responsive support for our residents.

Due to the retirement of the current postholder, this is an exciting time for a new Corporate Director to bring fresh ideas to the council, who can look at things differently, which continue to offer best value to the residents of the borough.
