We realise that the Children and Young People of the city are central to our vision and priorities. Over the course of this year, we have dramatically improved our Children's Services and are moving forward with confidence with a model that will ensure clarity of leadership, fully embrace the move towards integrated delivery, direct resources to frontline services and allow us to accelerate the pace of change in order to ensure improvements in services and outcomes for children and young people.

We now need to appoint an exceptional Director of Children's Services to continue the progress already made and ensure we create a sustainable platform to deliver excellent outcomes for children and young people. You will also have an important contribution to make to our corporate management team.

You will already have an impressive track record in leading children's services and be able to demonstrate achievements in successful change management and significant performance improvement. You will have credibility with a wide range of stakeholders and be an impressive ambassador for the Council and children's services across the city.

Above all, you will be committed to delivering a brighter future for all the diverse children and young people in Peterborough. For further details, please visit this link or contact Jon Houlihan on 0121 644 5710.

Closing date: 10th August 2012.
