Martin Reeves
Chief Executive
What makes us special? Whatever you do, you’ll be able to look around and say, “I made a difference”.
Because we’re all bringing lasting change to people’s lives in Oxfordshire.
Every day, you’ll be challenged in a new way, supported by your team, in an organisation that is free-thinking, flexible, and helps people achieve their ambitions. Working for us, you can create a unique career for yourself – while raising the bar for the future of the UK public sector, together.
Our focus for the past year has been shaping our organisation to be successful and sustainable for the future. We’re on a journey to Deliver the Future Together and become:
An employer of choice
where everyone recommends working here
A partner of choice
nurturing purposeful relationships with partners who feel well supported by us
A place shaper of choice
exceeding our residents’ expectations with outstanding services
To achieve our goals, we need to transform and fundamentally change how we do things. In that spirit, we welcome the government’s recent white paper on devolution. I wholeheartedly support the direction of travel towards decisions being made closer to the local people, communities and businesses they affect.
Our transformation vision for a successful and sustainable future is to:
In 2024, we spent time redesigning our leadership structure to make sure we have the right roles in the right areas. Our next phase is to review the size and shape of all our services, addressing challenges and exploiting opportunities locally and nationally, including devolution. That’s where you come in.
We're seeking experienced, compassionate, inspiring leaders who can drive strategy and change in complex environments. We’re looking for people who will live our values: always learning; be kind and care; daring to do it differently; equality and integrity in all we do; and taking responsibility.
We prioritise ethical, inclusive leadership and the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, while putting our residents at the heart of everything we do.
I’m proud of how much our organisation has achieved since I joined in March 2023 and I’m even more excited about what’s to come! Take a look at some of our best moments of 2024.
