Strategic Lead for Co-production and Inclusion, Adult Social Care (CDC)

Doncaster Council is an ambitious Mayoral authority, collaborating as part of Team Doncaster with partnership organisations, volunteers, businesses, and residents working together to take pride in our city. In Adult Social Care, we want to support every person in Doncaster to live in the place they call home with the people and things that they love, in communities where they look out for one another, doing things that matter to them. An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our senior leadership team as Strategic Lead for Co-production and Inclusion to take our practice forwards. Reporting directly to the Director for Adults, Wellbeing and Culture (statutory DASS), you’ll help Doncaster people and Doncaster communities to thrive. You’ll have the humility to work alongside people with lived experience, practitioners, and partners and create the conditions for adult social care to develop a strong foundation of co-production, inclusion, and equity. You’ll have a wide range of communication skills and the ability to build connections and understanding using plain, respectful, and non-stigmatising language. You won’t be satisfied with a skin-deep approach and will be able to deliver improvements that are both authentic and systemic. Above all, you’ll promote human rights and social justice for the people we are here to serve. In doing so, you’ll support the Adults, Wellbeing and Culture directorate to make best use of our resources through Adult Social Care practice that gets things right first time. You’ll get plenty of support as part of a friendly Council with a dynamic can-do culture. If you have the drive to make a real and sustained difference based on thinking locally and acting personally, we want to hear from you. In return for your hard work and dedication, we can offer you the chance to be part of a great team dedicated to ensuring that all people in Doncaster thrive. You will also have access to a variety of attractive employee benefits including competitive leave entitlement, a generous local government pension scheme, a wide range of well-being support, and development opportunities. You will also have access to a range of staff discount and benefits schemes.
