Now is an exciting time to join us as our new Service Director.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues within the Directorate and across the Council to ensure that outcomes are delivered. In this context, particularly important partnerships will be with colleagues in the Directorate, within Housing Services and with professional leaders including the Principal Social Worker and Principal Occupational Therapist as well as with our NHS partners.

You will use your personal and professional credibility to gain confidence, drive performance and productivity and build impactful relationships, translating complex problems into functional policy and applying intelligence-led decision-making.
