Stoke-on-Trent is on a journey with a rapidly growing economy creating new jobs, delivering regeneration and housing growth. It is a city with a strong sense of civic pride and absolute commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our residents.
In our Stronger Together Strategic Plan 2020-2024, we set out our strategic vision and priorities for Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the wider city. Stronger Together has been shaped by the political ambition of the City Council’s leadership, as well as the values and aims of the organisation. As such, it is as much a corporate plan for the council’s directorates and teams as it is a strategic blueprint for improving Stoke-on-Trent as a city.

In order to help deliver our key strategic priorities we are currently looking to recruit to the position of Joint Local Air Quality Project Lead, which will take on the role of Senior Responsible Owner for the North Staffordshire Local Air Quality Plan, a joint project between Stoke-on-Trent City, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough and Staffordshire County Councils, tackling roadside nitrogen dioxide pollution across the urban area in response to a Ministerial Direction issued in late 2018.
The role is exciting and unique, delivering transformational change, strategic direction, practice, guidance and legislation in relation to Air Quality projects and initiatives to improve the health of residents and visitors in the city and neighbouring authorities.
Reporting to our Director of Adult Social Care, Health Integration and Wellbeing you will quickly form strong working relationships with colleagues authority-wide, particularly across the Housing, Development & Growth directorate to ensure all elements of air quality are managed, reported and developed.
We’re looking for an experienced project management professional passionate about delivering ambitious strategic plans in a political environment. The successful applicant will be able to work autonomously across multiple authorities, possessing excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to analyse and interpret air quality and local transport legislation and inspire/influence both internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
