Business Design and Change Manager

Our transformation agenda in Norfolk Children’s Services is succeeding for children and young people and has been endorsed recently by two successful inspections. With a track record of successful projects and further large scale change underway, this is an opportunity to be part of our highly skilled team with the focus to drive forward transformation at pace.
