Director of Adult Services

Are you passionate about adults being given power to drive their own future? If so, you might be the inspirational leader we need to define the future of Blackburn with Darwen's new adult services directorate and our unique partnership with health.

The successful candidate will already be working at a senior level, have a clear and creative vision and a track record of delivering lasting and innovative results.

You will take the lead in transforming services for adults on behalf of the Council, making sure that we offer independence, choice and control. Supporting vulnerable adults is high on our agenda as well as ensuring all citizens, whatever their needs, have access to universal services.

The road of our constantly changing environment is not without challenge, but if you are anything like us, you will be ready to get behind the wheel. If you think you have what it takes then log onto this link.
