Assistant Director of Property and Development Projects

Wyre is home to four diverse towns, Fleetwood, Thornton- Cleveleys, Poulton and Garstang. Named after its 48 mile stretch of river, Wyre is less than a half hour drive from the M6 and is easily accessible by train.

With a population of around 111,900 Wyre covers 283 square kilometres and has 24 wards. We are a small but ambitious district council, sitting under Lancashire County Council. We are responsible for a wide range of key services including planning, waste management, street cleansing, parks and open spaces, economic development, environmental health, markets, theatres, leisure centres, licensing, housing advice and more.

Our workforce has around 330 staff members split between our Civic Centre in Poulton, our operations team based largely at the Copse Road depot in Fleetwood and mobile workers across council owned assets.

With responsibility for leading and shaping our Estates and Property Management, Building Maintenance and Markets teams the successful candidate will also play a key role as part of the wider Senior Leadership Team. With a substantial property portfolio comprising over 240 assets, the successful candidate will be creative and innovative with a commercial mindset that will help us make the best of our property assets to develop and drive forward a new asset management plan.

 If you are an inspirational leader and a strategic thinker with knowledge and understanding of Local Government and are ideally a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), then we want to hear from you.
