Job Description:

We are looking for an accomplished leader with experience guiding a team through change and change projects to lead our Adults Safeguarding team.

For this role, you will require management experience of Adult Safeguarding and DoLS, with the ability to use legislation and information to make confident, informed decisions.

You will also be comfortable supervising a diverse team of professionals – offering support, guidance, and training opportunities.

Most importantly, you will be a great communicator – collaborating with teams from across the Council, presenting to key stakeholders when necessary, and championing the Council’s values and vision in all you do.
