The Surrey Way is our organisation's Strategic Framework, outlining our ambitions, objectives, and guidelines across three key areas: purpose, organisation, and people.

This will serve as the link between the Surrey Way and our refreshed 5-year Transformation Programme.

SWITCH will lay the groundwork for our future operating model, revolutionising our work processes for the benefit of residents, optimising our resources, and enhancing internal and external collaboration.

Adopting a design-led approach, we will explore new organisational models and frameworks to maximise our capabilities and identify the most efficient use of resources.

You will need to provide support to the Programme Manager and the wider team in the delivery of the SWITCH Transformation programme.
