Head of Adult Social Care

Head of Adult Social Care Are you a talented and experienced qualified social work professional established at this level or looking for a promotion? Carmarthenshire is seeking a compassionate and values-driven leader who can drive transformation, innovation, and improvement across services for Adults. You will have a commitment to and experience of leadership in Mental Health, Learning Disability, and Adult Safeguarding. Carmarthenshire has well-developed strategies to expand our in-house residential, homecare, and supportive living services, so knowledge on how to develop this direct provision is an advantage. Working effectively with partners in the police and health services is essential, and you would join an authority where there are excellent supportive relationships with both agencies that you can build on. Whilst older people services are managed separately and are fully integrated with health, you will be working closely with the Head of Integrated services in delivering effective Homecare and reablement to older people. Candidates will need a strong track record of success and be able to inspire staff, improve services, and work corporately. Culture and behaviours are important to us in Carmarthenshire, and we will therefore be looking for candidates who can be positive, accountable, courageous/innovative, and kind. Working as one collegiate team, we will deliver the best possible outcomes for vulnerable adults. Are you the proven leader committed to improving the lives of vulnerable adults that we are looking for? If you are, then we'd really like to hear from you! Closing date:
