Context:

Wycombe and Chiltern District Council have embarked on a major project to jointly tender their contracts for Waste and Recycling services, with the aim of making significant financial savings for both Councils.

You will initially help establish then lead the transition to the integrated joint client team, including a managed reduction in staff numbers. You and your team will "manage out" existing contractual arrangements at both councils whilst "managing in" the new contract.

The Person:
