Croydon, United Kingdom Croydon Council Full time

Croydon is one of London’s largest and most diverse boroughs, with distinct and varied communities creating an exciting place full of opportunity. We are proud of our heritage, creativity and diversity.

Croydon faces the same challenges as other London boroughs: increased demand for adult social care services, homelessness, crime and fear of crime, rising property prices, and increased deprivation following a decade of austerity. However, it is a place of resilience and strong communities, where residents and community partners share a commitment to Croydon’s success.

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Adult Social Care & Health Directorate’s management team. We have an ambitious change programme delivering transformation across our directorate, and we are looking for an inspiring person to come and join us on our journey. Croydon is committed to radically change how we deliver our services for our residents and how we connect our communities and partners.

As our interim Head of Improvement, you will work across the directorate, the council and our health and care system partners; influencing our future direction well beyond any direct service responsibilities and leading on our key improvement programmes. You will also lead on defining, developing and implementing our strategy and policy function.

You will collaborate with the Executive Mayor, Lead Member, Chief Executive, Corporate Directors and others to communicate and deliver our improvement priorities, all within a financially sustainable budget.

We are looking for someone that is:

- comfortable offering both support and challenge at a senior level
- a keen strategist, able to identify, implement and advise on potential solutions to challenges.
- a leading advisor to elected Members on policy.
- passionate about the improvement that we can achieve at Croydon.

Secondment/Fixed term contract 18 months.

Closing date 09 May at 11:59pm

Interview timescales - Interviews are expected to take place in May.

Full Time 36 hours

As users of the disability confident scheme, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the advertised role.

Croydon council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment
