Welcome to Lancashire

Lancashire is a great place to live and work. We have everything you could want in a county: beautiful market towns and villages with Michelin-starred restaurants, areas of outstanding natural beauty with a breath-taking coastline and gorgeous countryside, a thriving cultural scene, great schools and universities, world-class businesses and industries, and cities that are both historic and modern. We’re in a fantastic location with excellent connectivity to the rest of the country

You will be part of a team that is passionate about our great county and its people. We are the biggest council in the North of England, with the fourth largest population in the country, employing more than 13,000 employees and serving our 1.2m residents over a large area that is twice the size of Greater London.

We are hugely diverse, both in geography and population, and serve a broad mix of communities in Lancashire, from those where opportunities and environment are judged to give some of the best quality of life in the country, to some of the most challenged areas in terms of deprivation. 

It is a very exciting time for us in Lancashire. Our aim is to build a better Lancashire where everyone can live their best life through stronger communities, a growing economy and high-quality public services. Our council plan, which sets out our priorities through to 2030, will ensure we achieve this.

We're also working with our partners to drive forward our ambitious devolution plans, which will see more powers transferred from central government to decision-makers in our county. We've already made a great step forward with the creation of our Lancashire County Combined Authority, which will oversee our plans. We're also ready to make the most of local government reorganisation, seizing this vital opportunity to shape how we serve our communities.

Lancashire is a large, vibrant and ambitious council, and the successful candidates will be given lots of opportunity to grow and develop.

If you are inspired by our plans and want to help us deliver on our ambitions, we would love to hear from you. Come and make a difference to Lancashire and apply for one of our director roles.
