At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for - the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

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 Adult Integrated Care, you will provide professional leadership and support to various teams across Adult Services, including our, acute hospital discharge and admission avoidance teams and our new technology enabled care service, promoting innovative approaches to prevention and ongoing care.

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.
