About Us > Management Structure

In order to effectively manage the Service and work towards our key aims, a three tier management structure has been constructed within the functional areas. The underlying philosophy is one which assigns management responsibility to the lowest appropriate level within the organisation.


Membership Responsibility
Principal Officers, Heads of Function

The responsibility for deciding policy lies with the Corporate Group. Additionally, the Corporate Group is responsible for facilitating the implementation of policy and for auditing its efficiency and effectiveness.

Functional Managers

The responsibility for functional management lies with the Management Group. As part of this remit, the members of the Management Group provide a level of expertise appropriate to the management of their respective functions, and develop and advise upon policy on behalf of the Corporate Group.

Service Delivery Managers

The responsibility for the management of service delivery lies with the Service Delivery Group. Members of the Service Delivery Group adopt responsibilities, as appropriate, across a matrix within the functional framework.
