A leadership role where your impact will be felt from day one. Lancashire is one of the largest and most complex Adult Social Care systems in the country. We are looking for an experienced operational leader who thrives in challenging environments, can bring clarity and pace to complex services, and is passionate about improving outcomes for residents.
This is not a traditional Head of Service role. It's an opportunity to step into a broad, high-profile portfolio at a time of significant transformation, helping shape services, support improvement, strengthen partnerships and lead through change across a system serving thousands of residents every day.
As Head of Service - Operations, you will provide visible leadership across key areas including older people and physical disabilities community teams, hospital discharge and prevention ensuring a strengths-based approach is embedded in practice. Working closely with community partners, health partners and senior colleagues, you will lead improvement activity, deliver high-quality operational performance and help drive Lancashire's ambition to support people to live better lives.
We're looking for a credible senior leader with broad Adult Social Care experience, strong operational grip, political awareness and the ability to inspire teams in a demanding environment. Whether your background is in social work, occupational therapy, nursing or another relevant discipline, you'll be someone who can build relationships quickly, navigate complexity with confidence and deliver results through others.
Why Lancashire? This is a rare opportunity to influence services at scale, lead significant improvement programmes and work within a large county-wide organisation that is committed to strengths-based practice, workforce development and delivering better outcomes for its communities. You'll join a leadership team that is ambitious, collaborative and focused on innovation, improvement and partnership working.
If you're an accomplished Adult Social Care leader who enjoys challenge, values innovation and wants to help shape the future of services across Lancashire, we'd love to hear from you.
