Waltham Forest is a vibrant, open borough, rich in culture and diversity...

From opening the landmark Soho Theatre Walthamstow to overseeing the construction of 27,000 new homes over the next decade.

A focus of our corporate plan, Mission Waltham Forest, is on the priorities of our communities, tackling inequalities at the heart of everything that we do, while ensuring that a firm financial position is maintained.  To make this a reality, the Finance Service is central to decision-making, ensuring senior leaders have the insight and challenge they need to deliver the best services for our residents.

Following a recent restructure, Waltham Forest are looking to recruit to several senior roles to join the team.  These are significant roles for the Council, and we are looking for candidates who can build strong relationships, challenge thinking and influence how we deliver services.  This is an exciting opportunity, to join a strong, committed and dedicated team at a time where your impact will be felt the most.
