with the people we serve.

Our senior leadership roles are critical to that journey. We are looking for people who
bring professional expertise, strategic thinking and a collaborative mindset, people who

finding better ways of working. Above all, we are looking for leaders who care about
people and place, and who want to make a positive, lasting difference.

At Live Borders, we value openness, inclusion and teamwork. We believe that empowered
people deliver the best services, and we are committed to creating an environment where
