This is an exciting opportunity to join Kirklees Council on our improvement journey.

Using a commissioning approach you will need to work collaboratively with colleagues, stakeholders and partners to agree priorities and develop strategies.

You will have robust leadership and management skills and the ability to work in a politically sensitive environment. You will also have a strong knowledge of the education, health and care landscape and legislation, as well as the related inspection frameworks. We would welcome applications from innovative individuals who are able to take the lead in the management of change and who have a demonstrable record of influencing and negotiation, as well as ensuring that outcomes are being delivered to the quality and standard that is expected.
