Central Bedfordshire is a place where talent can thrive. We're ambitious, committed to ongoing improvement and keen to embrace new ideas.

If you can offer strong professional credentials you'll enjoy the autonomy and space to lead a modern Adults' Services provision, supported by an able and committed team.

Our focus in recent years has been on consolidating our service and creating a solid foundation on which to build. We're now looking forward with confidence in our capacity to innovate and deliver better outcomes for our customers – maintaining high standards while exploring new delivery models.

You'll provide the operational leadership that supports our strategic agenda and offers clear direction and objectives to colleagues.

You should present a track record in delivering improvement in a social care or health setting and be experienced in delivering through partnership working.

With ongoing change on the agenda it's important that you can demonstrate the resilience, tenacity and diplomacy to offer effective leadership to service reviews, and instil confidence and trust in stakeholders, elected members and partners.
