Assistant Director for Children's Social Care

We want our young people to aim high in life.

That means keeping them safe and delivering our priorities to raise the aspirations and attainment and ensure all our communities have the opportunity to have safe, healthy and prosperous lives.

Our services for young people have been rated as ‘excellent' by Ofsted. We're now looking for two outstanding assistant directors for our new People Directorate who can build on that success and ensure all our services are consistently excellent.

We need experienced managers with a strong track record in their fields but who also have the skills and expertise to play a corporate role as part of the senior management team.

If you are interested please speak to Martin Tucker on 0121 644 5708 or Jon Houlihan on 0121 644 5710.
