Drive organisational and operational change to improve service effectiveness and achieve targeted financial efficiencies.
Build strong working relationships with Service Directors, Strategic Directors, Councillors, and wider stakeholders to ensure programme alignment and successful delivery.
Monitor programme outcomes, risks, budgets, and performance measures, ensuring timely reporting and corrective action where required.
Lead and influence change across complex systems and multidisciplinary teams to embed sustainable improvements.
Ensure all programme activity remains focused on achieving positive outcomes for children, young people, and families.

Requirements

Significant experience in programme or transformation management within Children’s Services or a related public sector environment.
Demonstrated experience leading large-scale change programmes within complex organisations.
Strong understanding of children’s social care systems, including fostering, residential care, and family support services.
Proven ability to work effectively with senior leadership teams, elected members, and multi-agency stakeholders.
Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
