York is at a crucial juncture as we seek two Assistant Directors: firstly, to lead Commissioning, Partnerships and Provision and secondly to lead improvement within our Adult Social Care services, to help take the council and the city forward. This is an exciting time to join us in York and become part of a forward-looking leadership team.
York’s history is well known but it is also a dynamic, modern city that is going places. While it is popular with the millions that visit each year, its greatest strength is its people. We have set out a bold vision in our Council Plan “One City, for All” (2023–2027) which focuses on York being a city that prioritises the health of its residents and one that makes access to opportunity fairer for all our residents.
It is clear that we cannot deliver our ambitions alone. York’s strong partnerships with community, business and regional stakeholders are key to our success. Like all local authorities, financial challenges exist but how we respond to those challenges is what is important.
We are seeking can-do, highly skilled and effective leaders in adult social care who look for solutions and do the best for York regardless of the pressures we face. You will lead in making best use of resources and delivering real improvements in services and outcomes for our residents.
To be successful you will be a visible leader who works across traditional boundaries to deliver for the city. You will be joining a leadership team that is committed to doing things differently, building on strong partnerships, focusing on what matters most, and ensuring that we deliver real, lasting improvements for the people of York. You will be part of an effective improvement plan and have the opportunity to make a real difference in these career enhancing opportunities.
