Dear applicant,

​

Thank you for showing an interest in this role. Having recently joined Oxfordshire County Council and Cherwell District Council as the joint Corporate Director for Commercial Development, Assets and Investment, I know that this is a great time to join this forward-thinking partnership.

We are embarking on an exciting organisation-wide transformation programme that will help us to deliver our vision of 'thriving communities for everyone in Oxfordshire'. This means big changes in the years ahead, to protect and improve frontline services for residents, while cutting red tape and reducing costs.

How we support our colleagues delivering frontline services, interact and influence our current and future suppliers to ensure we deliver best value and improved outcomes for our residents will be crucial to the success of this programme.

Key to success will be your energy to drive through improvements and your ability to live and breathe a set of behaviours and attitudes that we believe will ensure that, in time, Oxfordshire will be a market leader in procurement and innovative service delivery.

If you truly live the behaviours and attitudes set out in the job description and you would like to be a part of our procurement team, helping drive forward these changes, we would be delighted to hear from you and look forward to receiving your application.
