**About The Role**:
**Children’s Services transformation: exciting opportunity to come and join us.**

Due to colleagues securing promotions, we have two fantastic opportunities to come and join our team at one of the most exciting times ever for children’s services in Dorset and nationally.

Our Children’s Services transformation team is part of our Commissioning Service and are playing a key role at the heart of the work we are doing in Dorset to pilot national reforms for children’s services through the Pathfinder: Families First for Children.

If you are passionate about improving outcomes for children and families, are an exceptional organiser and communicator, love to work in partnership and alongside colleagues, thrive in an energetic working environment, we would love to hear from you.

You would be welcomed into a kind and supportive team who are all about generously sharing their knowledge and experience and helping each other to succeed and thrive.
