Service Director: Children\'s Social Care

It’s all happening in Doncaster. On one hand, we’re one of the newest cities in the UK, with all of the excitement and ambition that brings; on the other, we’re a ‘place of places’, with historic communities, a shared sense of pride in our achievements, and huge potential. City of Doncaster Council is an ambitious Mayoral authority with a clear purpose to ensure that Doncaster and its people thrive, and that value for money is at the heart of everything we do. If you’re looking for a leadership role with genuine scope, where you can make a real difference from day one, there’s no doubt that Doncaster’s the place. We want you to continue our consistent trajectory of improvement and innovation, building on this year’s ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement and turning our passion for young people and families into exceptional outcomes. You’ll lead and oversee all aspects of children’s social care, encouraging best practice, collaborative practice and the highest standards. With an inspiring vision for what we can achieve, you’ll hold children, young people and families at the heart of everything we do. Candidates must be qualified social workers, with experience of leading across the full range of services. You’ll be partnership-focused, a creative thinker and visionary strategist, and a courageous advocate for the children and families we support.
