Working in close partnership with health, the voluntary sector and our wider communities, we are continually developing our services to respond to the evolving needs of Oxfordshire’s residents. This is a unique opportunity to join us at a senior level and play a central role in shaping the future of adult social care practice across the county.

Beyond the organisation, you will represent Oxfordshire at regional and national Principal Social Worker networks, bringing sector insight back into the council and ensuring we continue to learn, evolve and deliver the best possible outcomes for residents.

You will be an experienced and credible social work leader, with a strong track record of influencing practice, leading improvement and working at a strategic level within Adult Social Care. You will bring a deep understanding of statutory social work responsibilities, alongside a genuine passion for strengthening practice and supporting others to deliver excellent outcomes.

You are comfortable operating at pace and at scale, able to balance strategic thinking with a clear focus on real-world impact. You are skilled in bringing people together, building strong relationships across organisational boundaries and ensuring that practice is informed by both evidence and lived experience.
