Lead Change where Diversity Drives Innovation

Tower Hamlets isn’t just a borough; it’s a community like no other. Home to iconic landmarks, a thriving business district, and some of London’s most vibrant and diverse neighbourhoods, we’re proud of our rich cultural heritage and forward-thinking spirit. Here, difference isn’t a buzzword; it’s our strength, our signature and trademark. It shapes how we work, how we deliver, and how we succeed.

We’re on a bold journey to transform the way we deliver for our residents, and we need exceptional leaders to help us make it happen. That’s why we’re recruiting for two senior roles that will shape our new People Strategy and transform our HR and OD services:

Tower Hamlets is a truly unique borough at the heart of London – a place where history and innovation sit side by side. From the docks and markets that shaped the East End to the global business hub of Canary Wharf, we are proud to be one of the most dynamic, diverse, and ambitious communities in the UK. We are also one of the fastest growing and youngest boroughs in the country, offering unrivalled opportunities to make a real difference to people’s lives. Our residents are energetic, creative, and resilient, and our council is committed to delivering the best possible services and opportunities for them.

Our award-winning new Town Hall in Whitechapel provides a modern, flexible workplace for our staff, right at the heart of the borough and directly opposite Whitechapel Tube and Elizabeth line station. It is more than just a workplace – it’s a hub for collaboration, innovation and community, designed to bring out the best in our people.

As an employer, we put equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of everything we do. Our active Employee Network Groups celebrate and champion our workforce, helping to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging. Guided by our TOWER values – Together, Open, Willing, Excellent and Respect – we are building a positive, inclusive culture where colleagues can thrive.

At Tower Hamlets Council, you’ll find exciting challenges, supportive colleagues, and the chance to shape one of London’s most important and vibrant places. If you’re looking for a role where you can see the impact of your work every day, then Tower Hamlets is the place for you.
