Local Government Reorganisation is a significant change programme affecting public service delivery in Oxfordshire during the next two years. Oxford City will be replaced by a new structure for local authorities by April 2028 and work has already begun to tackle this huge challenge. To help us, we are looking for a senior HR professional to join the People Services management team to deliver “business as usual” and support the preparation for, and delivery of, change. It’s an exciting and challenging time in local government and the reorganisation we are embarking on is complex.  

We need someone who is flexible and happy to take on a range of responsibilities that will change as we move through the next two years. The challenge includes working in collaboration with other councils in Oxfordshire and delivery of Oxford City’s people strategy and plan. 

We are looking for someone who is excited about making a difference and motivated to deliver change and excellent service quality. You’ll be joining a motivated and professional team that is highly regarded and an effective business partner, and you’ll will be welcomed and supported by your new colleagues in People Services.
