Head of Children's Social Care, Community Health and Family Services

Competitive salary.

We know this is a difficult job. We know that it can be an incredibly rewarding one. And we know that it can't be done in isolation. To be successful you need to work in the right environment and we think that Swindon has all the right ingredients for success.

For starters you will be building on the exceedingly strong foundations that have been put in place over a number of years. The relationships we enjoy with our partners are fi rst class.

We have created well embedded integrated teams and virtually all of our staff are co-located. We have been the provider of community health services for the last fi ve years and have a clear and achievable vision for a truly integrated service.

We are helped by Swindon's size. Large enough to provide every conceivable professional challenge, but small enough so that our teams can see the tangible difference we are making across the borough.

We are also helped by Swindon's ambition that is evident across the town's public, private and voluntary sectors. We are looking for a leader who has real strength in managing children's social care, but who can lead a broader service that encompasses many elements of health and education too.

Someone who is successfully leading teams through transformational change, is truly committed to integrated working and who can build on our considerable successes to date.

For further information please visit www.swindonsfuture.com and for a confidential discussion please call Tim Hills on 0113 205 6085 or Martin Tucker on 0121 644 5708.

Closing date: 05/12/2013.
