Message from the Leader of the Council and Chief Executive

Hi there,

Thank you for your interest in joining Redbridge Council.

This is a genuinely exciting time to be part of our story. We are a council with a strong record of delivery. However, we’re not standing still and we are taking the next bold step in our journey.

As Leader of the Council since July 2024 and Chief Executive since March 2025, we’ve had the chance to listen, learn, and help shape a new direction. This campaign marks a significant investment in our leadership capacity, designed to give us the strategic strength and fresh thinking we need for what comes next.

We are modernising Redbridge and unlocking the potential in our people. Redbridge is a place with big ambitions and we want to grasp the opportunities we’ve not yet fully delivered on, particularly around regeneration, inclusive growth, housing, and how we modernise the way we work.

That’s why this new leadership team matters. We’ve created a structure that reflects our priorities and gives our people the space and support to lead, influence and get things done. And we are building a culture that values collaboration, kindness and drive, and where everyone feels valued and included. These changes will also mean that Redbridge will be even better placed to serve and deliver for our residents.

We want to attract individuals who are curious, open, and full of ideas, people who care about public service and want to help us lead change in a borough that’s full of energy and complexity. Whether you are an experienced senior officer or stepping up for the first time, this is a place where your work will matter, and your contribution will make a difference.

Thank you again for considering Redbridge. We hope you will want to be part of what we are building. Redbridge, reimagine what’s possible and move to the next level.

Warm regards,

Cllr Kam Rai, Leader of the Council
Claire Hamilton, Chief Executive
