In Children’s Services, we know a child’s journey through school shapes their future. We want to prepare all children for successful independent lives, where they have the skills they need to achieve their aspirations, by giving them the best start in life. We want to be innovative and creative in the way we work to deliver our services to our communities.

Children’s Services is on an Improvement Journey to be outstanding. With a focus on outcomes and putting children and young people at the heart of all we do, we will lead the way in designing services for the future, working restoratively with our people, partners, and place. Central to this ambition is ensuring that we put the voice of children and young people at the heart of what we do, and we use their lived experience, insight and intelligence to improve outcomes, systems and services for children and families.

You will lead the Our Voice Team. You will be passionate about promoting and developing how children and young people can influence service planning and delivery and contribute to local decision-making. The Our Voice Team works to ensure that the views and aspirations of children and young people in Kirklees influence, challenge and drive our service provision and work with young people. Our Voice is a small team in the Resources, Improvement and Partnerships group of services in Children’s Services. The team’s work contributes to service transformation and commissioning by ensuring that children’s voices, experiences and concerns are heard, listened to and help to shape local decisions and services, through direct work with CYP, providers, strategic leaders and stakeholders.
