Divisional Director – Targeted Services

Three words that begin to sum up Children's Services in Harrow. We have an ambition to become a model for national excellence and think we have the right ingredients to get there. We've made some fundamental changes over the recent past to ensure we are now well positioned for the future. Our new, innovative service model is already delivering benefits.

So we believe it's the right time to join a new team that is excited about the journey ahead. You'll be joining an ambitious council too. One that has been nationally recognised for its recent achievements and praised for its focus on delivering for residents.

We're looking for someone who shares our passion, energy and commitment to the very highest standards of service, working in an open, empowering team culture. Someone who is able to forge innovative and strong relationships with our partners. Above all, someone whose expertise in working with children and families is helping them achieve their very best.
