Head of Children's Services - Southend on Sea

Head of Children's Services - Southend on Sea

Salary: Up to £87K

The support of a talented and committed cohort of staff, enhanced by the extended reach of successful and established partnerships and the confidence of unswerving political support is a combination that instills confidence and supports ambition.

We believe that it's the ideal platform to take a high performing service to the next level.

With its diverse community and densely populated urban setting, Southend-on-Sea offers a unique professional challenge with complexity and opportunity on a par with any London borough. We're proud to have established a reputation for consistent high performance and as the lead Children's Social Care professional in the Council this role offers considerable opportunity to build on success to date, and to really establish your professional reputation.

You'll join an organisation where high expectations are the norm but where there is equal commitment to supporting talented individuals to develop their skills and experience.

You'll be a passionate advocate for children and young people but this should be tempered with a pragmatic approach and a readiness to consider new approaches to maximise the use of finite resources. Creative and resilient, and with a solid professional background, you should be confident in your ability to bring new impetus and ideas to an already high performing service. Visit www.SouthendHCS.co.uk to find out more or contact Steve Guest at SOLACE Enterprises on 0845 601 0649 for a confidential discussion.

Closing date: 4 March.
