No appointment was made to the joint director of Education role, which now go to national external advert.
A number of the existing roles were vacant and covered by interim appointments pending this decision.
The benefits of a joint approach include working with partners and a strengthened focus on a potential second devolution deal focused on social care and tackling deprivation.
The shared management arrangements will also lead to savings of just over £1m for Cambridgeshire County Council and £200k for Peterborough City Council.
The success of this joint arrangement, mirrors the two councils’ earlier decision to share the post of Chief Executive – Gillian Beasley, and that of Director of Public Health - Liz Robin.
