As one of the highest performing Local Authorities in England, Leicestershire County Council is determined to offer its communities the best possible services while also recognising the need to transform the way it works and further increase efficiencies.

We are currently recruiting an AD for Corporate Strategy for Transformation who will play a fundamental role in the future success of the Authority.

This is a new role and the postholder will sit at the heart of the organisation, working with senior officers and elected Members to develop and embed a positive and change focused culture.

You will need to harness new technology and manage a series of far-reaching programmes and projects, ensuring that any changes have a real and lasting impact upon the way we deliver services to our communities.

We are therefore looking for candidates with a track record of success in transforming services within the public sector, excellent programme management skills, and the ambition to build on our considerable achievements and yet also bring about a step-change in the way we operate.
