Jobs

Stoke-on-Trent is an ambitious council, one with a motivated workforce and a clear sense of direction. Our adult social care services have been assessed as Good by CQC, and that reflects genuine commitment and hard work from the team.

With the recent appointment of Nichola Thompson as our new Corporate Director of Adult Social Care and All Age Commissioning, we want to be ambitious about where we go from here. We are focused on supporting people to live independently, on strengthening the neighbourhoodapproach and on building partnerships that make a real difference to residents' lives.

The council is now looking for a social work qualified Director of Adult Social Care to work alongside her in leading that next stage. You will lead operational delivery across safeguarding, prevention, neighbourhoodhealth and care, hospital pathways and provider services, and you will set the standard for quality and performance right across the system.

If you are a highly experienced leader with the values, the professional grounding and the ambition to help shape what comes next for adult social care in Stoke-on-Trent, we'd love to hear from you.
