Welcome to Newham. It’s a borough like no other and these are exciting opportunities to become the Council's Corporate Director of Adults and Health or the Corporate Director of Environment and Sustainable Transport, or the Director of Housing Needs. In these roles you will be working with me and my cabinet and a raft of amazing officers to lead our organisation over the coming years and deliver our Building a Fairer Newham plan.
These roles are for inspirational leaders who have a ‘get stuff done’ mind-set, are passionate about people and committed to exemplary service delivery for the public good.
Leading an organisation made up of 4,500 courageous and willing individuals, we have an appetite for innovation and learning, continuously striving to deliver better and brilliant each and every time. We are committed in driving our pioneering people-powered Council agenda where people and communities are at the forefront of what we do and where we celebrate our diversity as a statement of how great Newham is.
We are a Council that is fast paced and dynamic in response to the hard times our people and borough face because of the Cost of Living emergency that impacts us disproportionality. As London’s youngest and most diverse borough, we are also its fastest growing borough driving an innovative and ambitious anti-poverty and inclusive economy agenda that is anchored in Community Wealth Building as well as an organisation that is bravely taking real action in the face of the Climate Emergency.
If you have any further questions, feel free to drop an email to my colleague Gordon Mcfarlane, our Director of HR, at Gordon.Mcfarlane@newham.gov.uk.
I hope you are as excited about the roles as I am, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Good luck.

Mayor of Newham
