This is a high-profile opportunity to lead Adult Social Care across a diverse and complex footprint shaping services, strategy and partnerships that directly improve the lives of residents.

As Director of Adult Social Care, you will lead a complex and high-impact portfolio spanning statutory adult social care, safeguarding, transformation, prevention and health integration. You will provide ambitious, compassionate leadership with a clear focus on independence, wellbeing, resilience and better outcomes for communities.
