Welcome
Living and working in Shetland and Orkney really isn’t like anywhere else – and both councils play an integral role in the islands’ communities, economy and infrastructure. Our work directly affects every person who lives on, or visits, our islands.
An island community presents some unique challenges, not least the added complexity of delivering cost effective and fit-for-purpose services across dispersed communities and often in remote locations.
This is a key statutory role working for both councils and you could choose to be based in either location – though you can expect to travel between both as required.
The Shetland and Orkney Islands are quite remarkable places to live, work, and flourish, and we look forward to working closely with the successful applicant to deliver our organisations’ targets, priorities, and ambitions for our community.
This is an opportunity that presents a compelling offer of professional challenge and opportunity, set in one of the best places to live in the UK. We wish you the very best of luck with your application.
