Are you ready to shape the future of public services in Bolton?
We’re looking for a dynamic Transformation Business Analyst to join the Change Unit of our Transformation team on a 2-year fixed term contract. If you’re passionate about driving change, improving services and taking an evidence-led approach to deliver real impact for communities, this could be the role for you.
