Northallerton, United Kingdom NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNCIL Full time

**Assistant Director Adult Social Care**

**Location: Northallerton/Hybrid**

**Salary**:£91,500- £101,500 plus relocation support (up to £8,000)

**Come and Join Team North Yorkshire**

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in learning more about this key role.

This is a hugely exciting time for the county as we have brought together eight district, borough and county councils to form a new unitary council, with a common sense of purpose and a shared desire to succeed. The new council has the largest geographical area in England, is the third largest unitary and a significant player in the region and nationally.

By creating the new council, we are able to streamline services and deliver efficiencies of savings at a time when financial pressures are significant, whilst at the same time extending our reach to make sure that all residents, businesses and organisations across North Yorkshire feel fully included, represented and heard.

North Yorkshire one of the most beautiful parts of England, including two National Parks and a stunning coastline, great places to eat and drink and relax, good schools and easy access to big cities, culture and sport. It’s a great place in which to work as well as to live, which is why we are looking for someone great to join our team.

And that team is genuinely Team North Yorkshire, stretching across the Council, the wider public services and throughout communities.

Yes, we have challenges, like any other part of England. However, we also have a wealth of opportunities. As a new council, building on our predecessor organisations, we have strong political and officer leadership and a willingness to invest, learn and innovate.

Over the past decade, we have focused on prevention, developing our Stronger Communities programme and our Living Well service and doubling our extra care housing provision - which this year celebrates 20 years and now comprises over 1500 apartments and bungalows to buy or rent - as well as our wider Public Health services.

We have improved our joint working with the NHS, with other councils and, crucially, with people who use our services. And we are on a journey to make our social care practice both more confident and more consistent. At the same time, we have managed our resources carefully and done our best to shape new career pathways and become more diverse and inclusive in every sense.

We want to build on these strengths, and also on what we have learned from the pandemic, as we strengthen our new unitary North Yorkshire Council and prepare for the next steps of national adult social care reform, including CQC Assurance. Alongside a series of service developments and workforce measures, we are giving 110% to addressing the challenges that social care faces nationally and locally.

**About the Service**

North Yorkshire is home to over 620,000 people. Nearly 80 per cent of us are adults and 10 per cent of us are over 75. Life expectancy is at, or above, the England average, although there is a 20-year gap in healthy years lived between different parts of the county.

Our ambition is that every adult has a longer, healthier and independent life. We want people to be able to live their best lives and for our communities to flourish. Living our best lives includes being more proactive about talking about and promoting greater diversity and inclusion: across North Yorkshire and within our own services.

We believe that prevention is better than cure and that is why we have invested for many years in universal and targeted prevention programmes and in extra care housing.

We are striving to ensure that our practice starts with the strengths that each and every one of us have as human beings and that we make commissioning and investment decisions that, wherever possible, build upon the strengths within our towns and villages and countryside. As part of these aims, we want to work more sustainably to make our contribution to addressing climate change.

We want our care provider colleagues, in the independent and voluntary sectors, and in the council, to provide high-quality care and support and diversify their services to meet the choices and requirements that people will have in the future.

And we want North Yorkshire’s health and social care system to work as one, wherever possible, so that people have the right care and support, in the right place and at the right time.

Our net investment in adult social care is £231m with a further £24m invested in Public Health. We employ nearly 2000 people within the council and 20000 across the care sector to deliver vital prevention and care services.

Most of us live and work in the county. Colleagues really know our many and varied communities and what makes them tick. There is a very strong ethos of “Team North Yorkshire”.
