Lead with Ambition. Shape Strategy. Enable Change.
Sefton is a borough that surprises. With 22 miles of stunning coastline, the UK’s largest dune system, thriving communities, and iconic events like The Grand National and The Open, it is a place of real variety and richness. From Victorian seaside towns to vibrant urban centres, Sefton is full of contrasts and full of opportunity. For our people, our communities, and our Council, this is a place where ambition can take root and grow.
We are now seeking an exceptional finance leader to join our Executive Leadership Team as Executive Director Resources &amp; S151 Officer. This pivotal role provides the financial stewardship and corporate leadership needed to take Sefton into the next stage of its journey.
As our statutory S151 Officer, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the financial sustainability of the Council, overseeing effective financial planning, and setting and maintaining high standards across services. But this role is much more than finance. You’ll provide strategic leadership across a broad portfolio including Legal and Democratic Services, Procurement and Contracts, Health and Safety, Strategic Support, ICT and Digital, Human Resources, and Finance. You’ll lead a talented team of Assistant Directors and Heads of Service, empowering them to deliver while setting a strong corporate centre.
We are looking for a leader who can do more than balance the books. You’ll have the resilience and creativity to navigate financial pressures while spotting opportunities to generate value and maximise the potential of our assets. You’ll be ambitious for the Council, pragmatic in your problem solving, and focused on outcomes rather than processes. You’ll know how to set high corporate standards, while also getting alongside services and supporting them to deliver.
You’ll be a qualified accountant (CCAB) with a proven track record of senior leadership and delivering transformational change. Credibility to provide strong financial advice, vision to shape future plans, and personal presence to build trusted relationships with Members, colleagues, and partners are essential. You’ll thrive in a political environment, be comfortable challenging and supporting in equal measure, and be motivated by the chance to make a lasting impact.
If you are ready to shape Sefton’s future, and lead with vision, ambition, and purpose, this is your moment.
To apply or find out more, contact our retained consultants at Tile Hill: Mark Bearn on 07747 181490 or Ella Milward-Hamylton on 07866 963 207.

Assistant Headteacher (Pastoral)
Are you ready to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people? At The Bridge Short Stay School, we provide second chances and transform futures – we are now seeking an exceptional and inspirational leader to help shape this journey.
L3 – L7 (£54,393 - £60,145)
The Bridge Short Stay School are looking to appoint an exceptional individual to fulfil the role of Assistant Headteacher. As the senior pastoral leader within school, the successful candidate will lead our approach to safeguarding, attendance and wellbeing, ensuring every child feels safe, supported and ready to succeed.
The Bridge works with students who have been permanently excluded from schools across Cheshire West and Chester. Rated as ‘Good’ by OFSTED in May 2018 and 2024 we are passionate about providing a second opportunity to students who have struggled in education previously. Many of our students have gone from complete disengagement with their previous schools to re-engaging with learning, achieving strong GCSE or successfully reintegrating into mainstream education. This is the difference you will be part of.
The successful candidate must believe in the potential of all young people whatever their background and be able to demonstrate a commitment to supporting the growth and development of students who demonstrate challenging behaviours. They will be joining a school where this is an ethos shared by all, ensuring a positive and supportive culture amongst our experienced staff team.
Pastoral care of our students is of equal importance to our school community as the curriculum and teaching &amp; learning. Getting this right for our students is often an essential precursor to them being able to access education. Alongside responsibility for safeguarding there will be a particular focus on leading both strategic and operational approaches to improving attendance; ensuring good mental health and wellbeing of students &amp; staff; trauma informed practice and working in partnership with families
This role is vital to our school being successful in changing young people’s lives and therefore needs someone special to fulfil it. In a fast-paced environment you’ll need the organisational skills and resilience that allows you to ensure you maintain a keen eye for detail while prioritising a complex workload and ensuring our students feel known, heard and understood. As a senior leader you’ll play a key role in influencing others and creating culture within school whilst maintaining the ability to ‘walk the talk’ and lead by example, working directly with students and their families.
The knowledge and skills of the successful candidate are important, but we place equal value on someone having the right motivation, resilience, empathy and aspirations to work with our students and continue to drive forward standards in our school. If you have these qualities, we’ll look forward to receiving your application, the successful candidate will join an experienced, happy and hardworking staff team who care passionately about improving the life chances of young people.
This appointment comes at an exciting time in our journey as we work with the local Council to develop significantly improved facilities ahead of converting to Academy status as a founding school within The People’s Learning Trust. You will develop as a senior leader with significant impact on our individual school, whilst being able to make the most of the opportunities which will come through this future growth.
If you are a compassionate and resilient leader with the drive to transform lives, we’d love to hear from you. Come and see our work in action, visits prior to application are encouraged; please contact the school on 0151 245 3877 or email <a href="mailto:enquiries@thebridge.cheshire.sch.uk" target="_blank">enquiries@thebridge.cheshire.sch.uk</a> to arrange a visit or to request application details.
Closing date for applications is Monday 6th October 2025 at 9am. Interviews are expected to take place over Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th October 2025.
The Bridge Short Stay School is committed to safeguarding the welfare of all young people and expect staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be expected to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service Check. An online search will be conducted for all shortlisted candidates. A copy of our Safeguarding Policy is available on the school website.

Safeguarding
The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and expects all employee and volunteers to share this commitment.



Mid Kent Environmental Health is a highly successful shared service that covers the three Kent local authorities of Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, and Swale. We are looking for a passionate environmental health professional to join the Environmental Protection Team based in Tunbridge Wells. The Council operates a hybrid model combining working at home and from the office, taking a flexible approach to strike the right balance for officers and service delivery.
For this exciting opportunity we are looking for an individual who has excellent communication skills, is passionate about environmental health, and is a strong team player with a positive attitude.
As an Environmental Health Officer in our EP Team no two days are the same. You will manage your own varied caseload, as well as working with and supporting other team members to undertake a wide range of regulatory activities including taking formal action in line with regulatory requirements where required.
You will be involved in various areas of EP work including investigating commercial and residential nuisance complaints, permitting inspections, calibrating air quality equipment, investigating bonfires and drainage issues, sampling private water supplies, and reviewing documents for licensing or planning as a statutory consultee. We are able to provide training and development to the successful candidate in the specialist roles of acoustics, air quality and contaminated land.
The post holder will be a highly motivated, flexible, organised individual, with excellent customer service skills, and able to communicate with people at different levels as appropriate.
The post mainly covers work in the Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone areas, however there will be times when it will need to cover the Swale area to meet service demand.
Whilst experience of working in this or a similar role is an advantage, this role would also be suitable for someone who is newly qualified in environmental health and looking to take the first step in their career.
Benefits include:
<ul>
<li>26 days annual leave (increasing to 29 days after 5 years Local Government service).</li>
<li>Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and essential car user allowance.</li>
