Job Introduction About Us We want Oxfordshire to be a place where everyone has a great start to life, people live healthy and fulfilling lives, are enabled to achieve their full potential, and contribute to their community. With the help of the national Local Area Coordination Network, we have established a Local Area Coordination team alongside our partners to help us make this a reality.
