The role will have a pivotal part to play in shaping and delivering services for children, especially those services delivered in the community with partners in Health, Education and Social Care.

The role requires someone that is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people, with the ability, knowledge and experience of operating within a complex environment to inform and drive change.

Within this role, you will work on multiple commissioning projects and support transformation programmes.
