THE director of adult service's for the county is to leave his position at the beginning of next year.
Sander Kristel - who has been in the job for 18 months - will leave Worcestershire County Council and join UCAS Media, the commercial arm of the university admission service.
A spokesman for Worcestershire County Council said: "We can confirm that our current director of adult services, Sander Kristel is leaving his post early next year.
"We will be recruiting for a replacement director of adult services in due course".
Mr Kristel is the second person to leave a high profile job at Worcestershire County Council for UCAS recently.
Clare Marchant left her £155,000-a-year chief executive job in June after landing a role running UCAS.
Mr Kristel joined the county council in November 2014 as director of commercial and change.
Cllr Adrian Hardman, cabinet member for adult social care, refused to comment.
