Chief Executive (Town Clerk) Location: Hatfield, Hertfordshire Salary: £64,374 – £72,307 (SCP 50–54) plus Local Government Pension Scheme Contract: Permanent, 37 hours per week (with some evening and weekend work). Part time hours will be considered at a minimum of 25 hours per week over 3.5 days. Help Guide Hatfield’s Next Chapter Local government in Hertfordshire is entering a period of significant change, with consultation underway on a potential move to a unitary model. For Hatfield, this represents an opportunity to strengthen our voice, shape our future role and ensure our community is well represented. We are seeking a strategic, resilient and community‑minded Chief Executive to guide the organisation through this evolving landscape and support councillors in delivering for our town. About the Role TheTown Council is one of the larger community‑level councils in England, responsible for a broad range of services that support local life and community wellbeing – these include around 35 play parks and open spaces and sports pitches, and other community centres supported by a committed team of approximately 50 staff. The role combines strategic leadership, strong governance and operational oversight. Working closely with councillors, you will support them to shape priorities, make informed decisions and plan for the future. Exciting projects the Chief Executive will oversee include a phased programme to develop community football stand infrastructure over the coming years, a refreshed halls strategy to secure the long-term sustainability of our assets, and ongoing partnership work to ensure Hatfield’s interests are represented as the regional governance landscape evolves. You will also help prepare the organisation for future electoral cycles and provide clear, confident leadership through a period of change. About You You will bring: * Proven leadership in a governance‑led or regulated setting, with the confidence to support and advise elected members. * Political awareness and sound judgement, able to navigate sensitive or complex issues with balance and discretion. * Strong people leadership, creating a positive, inclusive and high‑performing culture. * Solid financial acumen, with experience of budgets, planning, risk and value‑for‑money decision‑making. * Excellent communication and partnership skills to represent the Council professionally and build constructive relationships. * Strategic clarity, translating priorities into practical, deliverable plans. * Resilience, calmness and a grounded approach, bringing steadiness when political or organisational challenges arise. * CiLCA (or equivalent) is advantageous, and full support will be provided to achieve this within 24 months. What We Offer We offer a competitive salary, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, generous annual leave, access to an Employee Assistance Programme and support for professional development. You will also benefit from free parking and use of the onsite gym at Birchwood Leisure Centre. Most importantly, you will join a committed organisation with a strong sense of community pride and the opportunity to shape Hatfield’s next chapter.
