Chief Officer Location: Cambourne, Cambridge, CB23 6GW Salary: £48,226 – £55,632 (SCP 37–43) plus Local Government Pension Scheme Contract: Permanent , 37 hours per week (with some evening and weekend work). Help Guide Cambourne’s Next Chapter Cambourne is a young, fast‑growing and highly active town, now moving into a new phase of maturity. As the community expands and expectations rise, the Council is strengthening its governance, modernising how it works and preparing for the next stage of growth. This creates a rare and rewarding opportunity for someone who understands governance, enjoys working with people and can bring steady, practical leadership to help shape a council – and a town – at an important moment in its development. A role with real influence and variety As our Chief Officer, you’ll be the Council’s senior adviser, organisational lead and the person who ensures we operate with professionalism, transparency and confidence. You’ll work closely with councillors, staff, partners and residents to keep services running smoothly, support good decision‑making and help the Council respond to the needs of a growing, diverse community. This is a role for someone who enjoys breadth: one day you may be supporting councillors on governance or policy, the next working with staff on service delivery, meeting with partners about local infrastructure, or helping shape projects that improve community facilities and public spaces. What we’re looking for We’re not expecting you to have done everything, but you will bring experience of working in a governance‑led or regulated environment, with confidence and experience of supporting committees or boards, and providing clear, well‑reasoned advice. You’ll be confident managing people, juggling competing priorities and working with partners across the public, voluntary or community sectors. You’ll understand the importance of good governance, sound financial awareness, strong relationships and clear communication. Above all, you’ll be someone who is calm, organised, politically aware and motivated by public service. Holding a Certificate in Local Council Administration or Certificate of Higher Education in Community Governance is desirable, but if you don’t have it yet, we’ll support you to achieve it. Why Cambourne? Cambourne is one of South Cambridgeshire’s most dynamic places, young, diverse, energetic and full of community life. You’ll join a committed team, a supportive council and a community that values its services, facilities and public spaces. This is a role where your leadership will be visible, meaningful and genuinely appreciated Why Cambourne Town Council? We provide membership to the Local Government Pension Scheme, generous annual leave, access to an Employee Assistance Programme, free car park and support for professional development. Most importantly, you will join a committed organisation with a strong sense of community pride and the opportunity to make meaningful impact.
