Children

and Families Trust

The Bradford Children and Families Trust was established in April this year to bring a step change in the quality and delivery of Children's Services across our district.

Our purpose is clear - to ensure that our promise to improve the lives of children and young people in Bradford becomes a reality.

It's a tough ask.

It requires dedication, determination, and resilience - but under a new Chief Executive, Senior Leadership team and an unswerving drive to deliver the best outcomes, we are confident that we will achieve our ambition.

Working for the Bradford Children and Families trust offers the opportunity to work with great people who are passionate about delivering change in a city whose culture offers as much diversity as it's geography.

We are on an exciting journey.

This fantastic opportunity will allow you to grow your career in a new organisation that is focused on improving services across the Bradford District with children at the heart of everything we do.

Who are we looking for:

We are looking for a driven and approachable Head of Service to lead and manage our Fostering, Residential and Placements services.
You will be a role model leader who can demonstrate best practice and provide the support to achieve excellent outcomes for our children and young people.
You will have indepth knowledge and experience of social work and understand what our children and young people need to make a positive and lasting difference to their lives.
Whilst the usual experience, education, knowledge and technical 'know how' are all prerequisites, the ability to lead, manage and inspire your team with the right culture, is just as important to us.
