Plymouth is on the brink of something extraordinary. As one of the UK’s newly designated national defence growth areas, the city is seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape its economy, inspire its young people and ignite ambition across every community. We’re determined to ensure that Plymouth’s future is not only prosperous, but shared; so that every child, in every community, can grow up with confidence, aspiration and the skills to succeed. These two roles will help build a city where every child can see a future for themselves, supported by a system which works seamlessly to spot difficulties early, responds quickly and effectively, and makes sure help is there as long as it’s needed. Our new Service Director: Quality Assurance, Safeguarding & Partnerships will play a pivotal role in helping our children and young people to live full, safe and happy lives. You’ll set the highest standards for practice that consolidates our reputation as a leader in safeguarding, drives service transformation, and delivers improved life chances. Candidates must be qualified social workers, with extensive experience of strategic leadership in children’s services, safeguarding, and quality assurance. A strong track record of leading multi-disciplinary teams and partnership working across agencies, including practical experience of commissioning, regulatory inspections, service transformation and budget management, is essential.
