As an organisation, LGSS has been built by the public sector to serve the public sector. LGSS is a shared services venture between Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire County Councils providing a vast range of strategic, advisory and transactional business support services to the founding authorities as well as other public sector organisations. We have brought an innovative approach to shared services, that has seen us save more than £11 million for local government. With many more partners joining us, and with a whole sector to infl uence, we have a major transformation programme to deliver.

We are looking for business minded and commercially astute leaders to help us contribute to the public sector transformation and our own development. Providing vision and strategic direction, you will become the driving force behind the next chapter of our growth, not just as a strong leader of people, but also as a leader of transformation. A public sector background is not vital, but a public sector understanding is – just as it's vital that you're as expert in managing resources and budgets as you are in building relationships.

Lead the charge for a better public sector. Visit this link for more details and to apply.
