Leicestershire County Council has a new chief executive, following the retirement of John Sinnott after 31 years in the post.
Jane Moore, the authority’s former director of children and family services, was officially appointed to the role at the meeting of full council on Wednesday 3 December.
Jane is a valued member of the corporate management team. Many staff and families have worked closely with her and will know first-hand her commitment to the people of Leicestershire.
One of Jane's key achievements has been successfully leading children's services to its 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating last year.
Jane’s appointment is testament to the hard work and leadership she has already demonstrated at Leicestershire County Council.
“Through her career, she’s been responsible for supporting some of our most vulnerable children and families. Her knowledge and approach will be hugely valuable as we strive to provide the most efficient services and deliver big change - such as local government reorganisation.
