Join a newly established team delivering a major Modernisation Programme. Analyse, challenge and redesign services that make a real community impact.
The Opportunity
We're working with an organisation embarking on a major three-year Modernisation Programme designed to transform how services are delivered, improve operational effectiveness, reduce costs and enhance customer experience. With more than 40 projects underway and a significant savings agenda to deliver, this is an opportunity to play a key role in helping shape the future of the organisation.

This is a genuine opportunity to join right at the start of a major transformation programme where your analysis and recommendations will directly influence how essential public services are delivered.
