Five transformational senior Group Head roles

It doesn't get much bolder than this! Five transformational senior Group Head roles.

The chance to help turnaround a service with a difficult history by putting children and young people at the heart of everything we do.

You could be joining a partnership based on investment that shows the commitment of the whole Council to Children's services. We have developed a unique and truly innovative partnership with iMPOWER and Penna; two organisations renowned for their innovative approach to change and their investment in people.

To meet the tough challenge of transformation you will be supported by a new DCS, and leading edge coaching and development. We are transforming from a difficult past into an excellent future and you will be integral in leading the way forward.

For further information on the roles we have available and to register your interest please contact Rebecca Jones at Penna, rebecca.jones@penna.com or Jonathan Swain jonathan.swain@penna.com
