Rother District Council is looking to the future. With a new Chief Executive in 2023 and a new Deputy Chief Executive who commenced in spring 2024, we have developed a fresh Council Plan and Target Operating Model to deliver our vision for the district.  Our new senior leadership structure and People Strategy will ensure we have the capacity and capability required to drive the changes required now and in the future, making the most of significant external investments announced in the past 12 months. 

The Corporate Development Team (CDT) represents an exciting and unique opportunity to be involved in a new team that will deliver and enable numerous high-profile schemes for the benefit of our residents and visitors. The financial challenges facing local government are well documented, and those difficulties are no less acute for Rother District Council. However, despite these difficulties the Council has a highly ambitious £170m capital programme and is looking to deliver £126m of capital investment over the next 5 years. The Council has been incredibly successful in accessing significant external grant programmes to help fund and deliver on our ambition. Opportunities of this nature do not come along very often, and we hope you will feel excited and motivated to be a part of something that can help define the direction of the district for years to come.
