Southampton, United Kingdom Southampton City Council Full time

**Head of Resources**

In Southampton Children Services we are establishing a strong leadership team determined to deliver the very best outcomes for our children and young people and building a workforce that is flourishing - the Southampton family. With a committed and collective local partnership, a clear vision, strong values and an increasingly permanent workforce, nothing will deter us.

We are looking for a Head of Children Looked After and Care Leavers and a Head of Resources to join our permanent children’s services leadership team. We are committed to delivering the highest quality services for our children, to ensure we show them the care and commitment they deserve and help them fulfil their dreams. We want to do things differently, and as an aspiring Child Friendly City we want our children to be the centre of our service delivery and design. We are not there yet, and we have challenges ahead, but we know our leadership team, practitioners and partners are desperate to deliver great outcomes. We want you to join us on this adventure.

You will thrive on working in a dynamic and learning environment and be a highly motivated and inspirational leader to others, with a track record in establishing a culture of high support and high challenge. You will be able to lead and oversee operational activity whilst maintaining a strong focus on delivering corporate parenting strategic objectives. You will be a registered social worker and a manager who is experienced in leading teams and services.

If you are driven by a passion to develop and grow services that genuinely improve the lives of children and young people, you are committed to working as a collective, you believe in the power of trusting relationships to create impact and you want to be part of the change in Southampton, we would love you to join us.
