We are looking for an aspirational and motivating leader to provide strategic and operational leadership and management for all adult community services across Bedfordshire.

It is a very exciting time for you to come and work for us. Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving quality of life for all we serve, which is underpinned by our values: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive. Our main priorities in delivering our vision are: Enhancing service user satisfaction; Boosting staff satisfaction; Maintaining financial viability. We are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues within Trust and our partner organisations.

As a compassionate healthcare leader, you will develop fair access for services to achieve real equality of opportunity in service provision and employment, ensuring involvement of users, carers and families in service planning, audit, change and delivery. You will ensure that we embody a culture of continuous learning and improvement and actively promote the implementation and effectiveness of the Trusts Equalities policies and procedures as an ambassador for both health and employment equality. This will encompass designing, developing and implementing programmes to enhance social inclusion for users, carers and their families.

As a champion for innovation, you will ensure that information technology is used to its fullest potential to provide management information and to inform future service delivery.

In return, you could be part of an upward journey, in which there is both permission and support to be innovative in the development of a leading Adult Community Services offering across Bedfordshire.
