Description

Hackney is one of Britain's most exciting and fastest-changing boroughs. We have changed the reputation, not just of the Council, but of Hackney itself.

The challenges that have arisen over the last two years have intensified the need for action and we are determined to rebuild Hackney for, and with, our diverse communities.

We are continually innovating and transforming to better support people who have care and support needs to build on their strengths and connections.

Our vision for the residents we work with is.

"We want you to achieve what matters to you, in partnership with our communities in Hackney. Where you need support, together we can find a solution that keeps you safe, well and independent."

Right now, transformation has never been more important. The challenges facing the adult social care sector are significant.

We believe that with the right staff, leadership and vision, we can meet these challenges and work with residents and partners to come up with creative solutions - always keeping residents at the centre of their care.

The transformation service is made up of a number of teams; Transformation, Performance & Insight, Business Support, Practice Innovation and Workforce Capability, and Homes for Ukraine Support.

As a service, we are committed to ensuring residents achieve the best outcomes, whether that be through transforming how services are delivered, using data and insight to better understand needs, investing in and thinking creatively about how to develop and support the workforce, ensuring the business is supported to deliver processes as efficiently as possible, as well as through continuous service and practice improvement.

It's a dynamic, highly skilled and supportive service. And it's growing.

We are seeking people with ambition, creativity and commitment to our values, to help us achieve the best for the people of Hackney.

As a Deputy Head of Service you will utilise multiple skills to find solutions to complex problems, model an inclusive and inspirational leadership style, and ensure the services within your portfolio are high performing, innovative and can support the wider department to be data driven and user-centred.

- have experience managing complex programmes of change in a similar setting.
- have excellent strategic leadership and management skills.
- understand how to motivate and lead teams, and to maximise the skills and capacity available to best deliver objectives.
- are excellent communicators, problem solvers and influencers.
- understand the challenges facing the sector, and why transformation is key.
- have experience managing budgets and of delivering value for money services.

There is no better place to work in London than Hackney; we have great pride in our borough, our communities, and our services.

Hackney is one of London's most vibrant and diverse boroughs.

It's one of the most sought after areas to live in London with good schools, parks and local amenities, as well as great transport links and vibrant and diverse communities.
