You will have substantial experience of working in a statutory children’s services environment, including recent experience of managing several teams. You will have sound knowledge and a significant understanding of current and emerging legislative frameworks and government policy agendas in respect of this field of work and an ability to lead in this area. You will need exceptional interpersonal skills, a passion for quality and the ability to develop and sustain effective working relationships, within the service and with internal and external partners.

This role supports the Council to meet its statutory sufficiency duties, secure positive outcomes for children, young people and families and offer value for money.
