Better Together for Children.Salary: £76,175 - £87,895 per annum. In Walsall, we're working across our partnership to change children's lives and life chances. Over the course of the last 18 months, we have dramatically improved our Children's Services and are moving forward with confidence built on real strengths: people's moral compass for children; the desire from practitioners and partners for visible leadership and the collective corporate ambition to secure sustainable improvements. There is a clear understanding of the challenges ahead and the determination to sustain the trajectory. A key lesson learnt is that we need to be passionate and ambitious across our partnerships, so we are ‘better together for children'. Our learning will continue. And we hope you are keen to contribute to it and bring the kind of leadership our social workers and other professional staff deserve and our partners expect, on behalf of children. A Qualified Social Worker with an impressive track record in this field, you'll oversee a range of crucial services including support to Children in Need, Looked after Children and Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Above all, you will be committed to delivering a brighter future for all the diverse children and young people across Walsall.
