This is an incredibly exciting time to be joining Halton’s Children’s Services; we are embracing improvement and innovation through a collective response to achieving best outcomes for our children. We are ambitious and tenacious, and we are committed to working with children, young people, and their families/carers through co design and co delivery.

We are looking for an individual with a proven track record in delivering high quality strategic planning and commissioning, alongside experience of family finding for children and young people who are unable to live with their own family.

You’ll be incredibly passionate about the challenges and ambitions in consistently safeguarding children & young people in Halton to thrive and to be safe, happy, successful and healthy.

**About the role**

You will develop and maintain effective multi-agency partnerships, demonstrating your in-depth knowledge of commissioning and placements. As a member of the Children’s leadership team, you will ensure that all commissioning work is interconnected with wider Children’s, organisational, local, regional and national priorities and in line with joint strategic needs analysis and applicable governance requirements.

The role will involve working with senior managers across Early Help, Health, Youth, Children’s Social Care and Education/Inclusion to provide a holistic commissioning service and improve outcomes for our children and young people.

To ensure the best value and highest quality services for our Children and Young People of Halton, you will lead the commissioning of services and resource allocation to drive change, securing improved outcomes for children and young people to meet the needs of children across Halton including services for CYP with SEND; children looked after and care leavers.

**If you have what it takes to undertake this role and are serious and passionate about our children, if you want to work with people who truly care about and want to do all they can for the children of our region, then we would love to hear from you.**
