About the role

Tameside Council is seeking dynamic senior leaders to join our new Chief Executive and the executive team — someone who can drive transformation, foster innovation, and champion inclusive growth across our borough. Be bold, ambitious and work collaboratively to achieve better outcomes for the people of Tameside.

Tameside is a borough on the rise. Nestled between the buzz of Manchester and the beauty of the Peak District, it offers the best of both worlds. We’re proud of our strong communities, rich heritage, and bold regeneration plans — from our 9-town revitalisation to green infrastructure and inclusive economic growth.

We’re part of the Greater Manchester family, with access to world-class networks, innovation hubs, and collaborative leadership. Our organisation is values-led, resident-focused, and committed to tackling inequalities head-on.

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to shape the future of a place with purpose, passion, and potential.
