London Borough of Ealing - Strategic Director Adults & Public Health

Strategic Director – Adults and Public Health

Salary circa £180k

Closing date: Friday 3 July, 10am

We are looking for an ambitious, visible and collaborative leader who can help shape the future of adult social care in one of London’s most diverse and dynamic boroughs. This is not about maintaining the status quo or driving another round of optimisation, it is about developing a service in the context of a radically changing relationship with our residents.

You will inherit solid foundations and a service that has embraced innovation. The service performs exceptionally in some areas and well in many others. Your challenge will be to take the next step, bring fresh thinking and to lead transformation at a corporate level. You will act as a strong corporate leader across the organisation, and help us to think differently about prevention, integration and long-term sustainability.

We are looking for someone who can challenge constructively and build confidence with members, colleagues, health partners and communities.

We are particularly interested in leaders who can demonstrate clear examples of innovation and change that align with large scale transformation programmes. You will bring strong financial grip and strategic credibility, but also the ability to influence complex and evolving systems.

You do not need to come from a traditional social work background to apply. What matters most is your leadership and your track record of delivering meaningful change.

At Ealing, we are ambitious for our borough, our organisation and our communities. In a stable political environment, we are building a radically

different relationship with our communities.

If you are excited by the opportunity to help shape the next phase of Adult Social Care, we would love to hear from you. At Ealing, we have built a strong and stable Adult Social Care service. It is financially disciplined, trusted by partners and delivers good outcomes for residents. The next chapter requires something different.
