Job description

GDS Local is a specialist unit within the Service Transformation Directorate, working at the point where central government platforms, local services and sector reform meet. We help councils and government partners create the conditions for better, more joined-up public services by unlocking usable data, accelerating adoption of common components, shaping a more open technology market and building stronger routes for collaboration.

Our work is focused on four connected objectives:

Creating a shared vision for local government technology, data and the market so councils can make better digital and procurement decisions
Unlocking usable, shareable data so councils and delivery partners can support people earlier, faster and more effectively
Making it easier to adopt common products and platforms such as GOV.UK App and One Login, while reducing the risk and cost of reuse
Building the conditions for collaboration across councils, sector bodies and central government so change can scale across the whole system

Our mission is ambitious and practical: to help make public services simpler, more responsive and more connected for local authority residents, especially those with complex needs. By improving how councils buy technology, share data, adopt trusted platforms and work with government, we are helping create easier lives for residents, better value for money across local government and greater public trust in digital services.
