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.
