A job leading Liverpool mayor Joanne Anderson’s office is on offer – and the person who gets it could earn more than £68,000.
Mayor Anderson was elected in May after beating off competition from independent candidate Stephen Yip in the local elections.
The council is currently advertising for a vacancy, which closes very soon, to become her head of office, a role that would mean being at the centre of key decisions that shape our city.

A post on the council’s website said the job, with a salary of between £61,260 and £68,137, would be suited to someone with a track record in a similar role as the holder will be involved in the city’s response to the damning Caller Report.
The statement said: “This is an ideal opportunity for the right person to come and make a real impact and a lasting difference to Liverpool. We are on a journey of implementing our Improvement Plan following the Best Value inspection and the post-holder will be pivotal in ensuring the Mayor’s Office is represented in that huge body of work.
“Culture change is central to our plan and you will be working with the team alongside our staff and elected Members to help deliver that change.
“This is a role that will suit someone who has a track record of leading a political or senior leader’s office with excellent operational management skills.”
The role calls for a range of other skills, including around mayor Anderson’s stated “triple lock” pledge that all policies should increase social value, tackle the climate crisis and increase equality and diversity.
The statement continues: “You will have experience of developing equality impact assessments to shape policy advice and inform decision making and be committed to providing services which deliver social value and environmental sustainability, with diversity, inclusion and accessibility shaping all of our practices.”
Further information about the role is available on the council’s website.
