Swindon, United Kingdom Swindon Borough Council Full time

At Swindon Borough Council, we are bold and ambitious in our plans, with a clear vision and direction for the future. Our status as one of the UK’s fastest growing towns is driving transformational change across our organisation, most significantly within our highly valued Adults’ Services teams.

**Expanding, Strengthening, Transforming**

We have a clear vision of what we want the future to look like. The success of our vision depends on working alongside residents with a strength-based approach, enabling people to remain independent in their own homes as well as ensuring that we provide effective and efficient services to those who need us most.

We seek to evaluate what we do as a service, identify and consolidate strengths, address weakness and learn as a service in order to improve what we offer and deliver to residents with Care and Support needs.

**Cultural change**

We want to build on a service that works for everyone, which evolves and is continually refined and based on reflection and learning. Its focus is community led support, and practice that is strength based, to enable people to live with as much independence as possible.

**Your next role**

As our Head of Service for Integrated Pathways in Adult Services, you will provide professional leadership, contributing to the “whole authority” strategic management of the Council in Mental Health, Learning Disability and Transitions teams.

Your accountabilities include all aspects of the leadership, development, direction and delivery of service in relation to Adult Services including joint working and inter-agency co-operation. The posts promotes the achievement of high standards of performance against national, corporate and service specific performance measures.

You will promote and embed the vision, principles and processes of the Adult Quality Assurance Framework in relation to adult operational staff.

Our Head of Service for Adults supports the strategy of the Swindon Safeguarding Partnership and Community Safety in line with legislation and guidance as directed by the Safeguarding Executive.

Your next role promotes the achievement of high standards of performance against national, corporate and service specific performance measures.

You will also promote the achievement of high quality, effective and efficient services for Swindon Borough Council (SBC) through scrutinising and managing performance to drive continuous improvements.

**What Swindon Borough Council offers you**:

- Benefit from corporate subscription to RiP including attendance at learning events
- Membership of ADASS
- Supervision and support from Swindon Borough Executive Leadership team
- Wider training and support, including access to mentoring and an apprentice network
- 26 days holiday/ A career average revalued earnings (CARE) pension scheme
- Eating Out, Shopping and Entertainment discounts

Please see our **Rewards and Benefits** offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

**Your next steps**

Potential applicants are sometimes put off if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. We think individual experience, skills and passion make all the difference, so if you are a registered practitioner and meet the majority of the criteria, we’d love to hear from you.
