Description

Working together

Are you a strategic leader with a passion for delivering progressive, integrated adult social care services?

Bridgend County Borough has a beautiful and diverse geography, with valleys in the north and miles of coastline and beaches to the south. The M4 corridor runs right through the centre of the county borough, and we have main-line rail links to Cardiff and London to the east, and Swansea in the west. We are a well-connected and passionate place, with our communities at our heart!

Due to the retirement of the current postholder, we are now seeking an exceptional individual to step into the pivotal role of Head of Adult Social Care. This is a unique opportunity to lead a well-performing and dynamic team dedicated to enhancing the lives of adults in our community. You will play a pivotal leadership role, overseeing high-quality services, driving transformational change, and fostering effective local and regional partnerships with health colleagues, other local authorities, commissioned providers, police, probation and the voluntary sector.

With a clear three-year strategic plan recently approved, your role will be to drive the effective delivery of these objectives, with a clear focus on integrated service delivery, transforming learning disability and mental health services, prevention and wellbeing. With this in mind, we are seeking a candidate with extensive senior experience in either social care, health, or an aligned sector. You will demonstrate a strong understanding of social care models, delivering best value and your transformational, strategic skillset. A well-developed political acumen is essential, as you will work closely with our Elected Members and Cabinet to drive forward Bridgend's ambitions.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a county borough committed to innovation, integration, and excellence in adult social care in which improved outcomes for people and communities is always at the heart of everything we do. If you have the vision, values, drive and motivation to shape the future of adult social care in Bridgend County Borough, we want to hear from you.
