We are looking for a dynamic leader who has the confidence and ability to collaborate with others, and who can nurture relationships across council services and partner organisations to help deliver the borough's strategic ambitions.

In doing so, you will play a key role in helping to address some of the biggest challenges in public policy, including:

  • Supporting preparations for the Care Quality Commission Inspection regime, including our Adult Social Care Needs Assessment
  • Developing the Directorate approach to data and performance, including the effective implementation of Power BI
  • Overseeing the statutory returns processes for Adult Social Care, including the new Client Level Data return and future changes to ASCOF
  • Improving our strategic partnership working across the Health & Wellbeing Board, Community Safety Partnership and Safeguarding Adults Board

About you

  • An exceptional strategy & policy skillset including policy analysis, evidencebased policy making and strategic planning
  • A welldeveloped understanding of data and performance approaches, including Outcomes Based Accountability
  • Collaborative leadership skills in complex partnership environments and astute political understanding
  • A track record of delivering tangible outcome improvements for residents/service users
  • An ability to act as a 'critical friend' to the service areas SPI supports in the Directorate
