About Us
We've recently been nationally recognised by the MJ for workforce transformation, but we want to do more! We are now looking to transform and improve across all areas of the organisation.
We are currently undertaking an ambitious Transformation programme across the whole organisation.
We have a great team delivering this exciting programme of change - we need a Transformation Lead Officer to cover a period of maternity leave.
Our key focus is to transform and improve all service delivery for our customers ensuring that we put them first and provide the best and most streamlined and responsive customer experience.

Key objectives of the role include:
Leading and managing the team of officers dedicated to this priority area.

- Discovery - understanding what the service does, mapping processes, benchmarking, collecting and analysing data, researching best practice, exploring how we use technology.

- Implementation - working with services to implement approved recommendations, delivering to agreed timescales and meeting key milestones/
- Evaluation - measuring success to ensure that new ways of working have been embedded within the service and that identified benefits continue to be realised.
