Chief Executive

Of course, every council has ‘ambitions’, but they don’t necessarily have our commitment, investment and drive to make them a reality. The difference is, we haven’t been afraid to invest. We’re constantly looking at ways to improve our economy, our towns, our communities and our whole district in bold and innovative ways.

Some say we’re redefining the role of district councils, but we see it more as doing good by our residents and businesses. We’re making East Devon a place where culture sits at the heart of economic progress, where tourism is helping the county flourish and where our families can live their best lives. We’re now starting to achieve this through delivering incredible projects, such as shaping one of the UK’s newest and fast-growing towns, funding our important enterprise zone and ensuring we stay afloat of our environmental
responsibilities. And not just that, we have many more initiatives, projects and ideas waiting for their time in the sun.
This is an amazing opportunity for a creative, bold and collaborative leader to take the helm of a council that’s already succeeding and take it to new heights. Someone like you. A leader who’ll protect the East Devon quality of life while creating a modern, agile council that utilises the very latest digital technology and helps its staff achieve their full potential. Ultimately, you’ll help us rise to the challenge of maintaining future improvements,
successes and possibilities by inspiring and enablingeven greater ambition.
