For the last few years the council and the local NHS have been working hard to adapt the health and social care systems to meet the changing demands of our communities; we have developed new ways of working based on innovative partnerships, providing more care in people’s homes and breaking down barriers between services.

Candidates could come from local government or the health sector and will need experience of leading large and complex teams, developing integrated services, and improving outcomes for communities. You will need to be a skilled relationship manager, with a ?exible approach and a determination to better support our 500,000 residents.
