We joined the Shared Services Partnership in 2015 to take costs out of our back-office services and protect front line jobs.
The partnership is committed to delivering our shared goals and we welcome the positive impacts this brings, because in addition to delivering quality back-office services the model is based on a proactive environment for enhancing the services we share.
We look forward to continuing to realise the benefits of working as part of the Shared Services Partnership, so we can continue to focus on delivering front line services to the residents of Oxfordshire.
