About Us
We are proud to provide services and support to one of New
Zealand’s fastest growing and thriving communities. With a fast paced and changing
community we have an array of interesting projects and initiatives and are
committed to a significant infrastructure and maintenance work programme which
included the recently completed Te Kete Tuhinga (library) and civic centre Te
Whare Whakatere.
Employing around 300 staff, we
pride ourselves on delivering excellent services to our 36,000 plus residents
and visitors alike – ensuring the provision of quality local infrastructure,
community services and regulatory functions for both current and future
generations.
With stunning scenery, great
people, strong communities, and a prosperous economy, we consider Ashburton and
the wider mid-Canterbury district a great place to live, work and play.
About The Role:
Reporting to the Chief Executive and
as a member of the executive team, you will work closely with elected members
and set the direction for the business support services and operations. The Business Support Group is responsible for
revenue generating activities including rates, commercial property and forestry,
as well as business support services (finance, information technology and legal).
Applicants will be CA qualified
and ideally have relevant experience in a local government or professional
practice in a senior leadership role. This
could also be a great opportunity for someone looking to step into a broader
focused leadership role.
We don’t believe there should be any reason stopping you for
applying for this role, but if you are still a bit unsure why not watch
