&lt;p&gt;Here at Luton we want to ensure that the future holds the best for every child and young person - and if you think you can help us deliver that we want to hear from you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In many parts of the country, traditional school improvement services are being cut back to a minimum.&amp;nbsp; However, we are dealing with change in a different way.&amp;nbsp; Rather than reduce and retrench, we are developing the service we provide for schools and our aim is to be the provider of choice. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luton is in the minority of local authorities in which Children's Services are judged by Ofsted to be performing excellently in the last APA; schools and other settings have made a very significant contribution in getting us to this position. Based on strong relationships, effective partnerships and joint endeavour, we firmly believe that the services that make up our Support, Challenge and Intervention offer have a unique and important part to play in driving up standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are therefore looking for experienced candidates with a strong track record within school improvement at a senior level, (not necessarily in a local authority environment) with the ability to form strong relationships with schools and partners, as well as having an entrepreneurial and flexible approach to lead our traded services offering.&amp;nbsp; It is a challenging time for the sector, and we are under no illusions, but it is also a time for seizing opportunities and innovative approaches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To view the job description and person specification for this role, please scroll to the bottom of the page, tick to agree to the privacy policy, then click 'Continue to full details'.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We are working at the heart of communities, responding to the needs of children who have been ignored and broken. We believe every child needs a chance. Join us and child by child we will create a better future &amp;ndash; together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;We are one of the UK&amp;rsquo;s most well-respected charities. Founded 140 years ago, we work tirelessly on behalf of tens of thousands of vulnerable children in the UK who need care and protection in order to live safe and happy lives, free from neglect, abuse and exploitation. We are committed to providing the support that will enable these children to enjoy their childhood and fulfil their true potential. As public services have changed over recent years, we have become increasingly involved in delivering services to children funded largely from local authority and Central Government sources. However, complex and competitive tendering processes, requirements for clear evidence and measurement of outcomes and reducing budgets have all contributed to an uncertain and unpredictable operating environment. We&amp;rsquo;ve responded to these changes with a positive and forward-looking attitude, and have continued to grow and build on our reputation in the sector.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;As children and young people are at the heart of all we do, safeguarding is our absolute priority and we&amp;rsquo;ve invested heavily in our systems and practice over the last five years.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Spurgeons journeys with vulnerable children and young people to create a lasting impact, spurring them on within their families and communities, by building self esteem, resilience and hope. We are working at the heart of communities, responding to the needs of children who have been ignored and broken. We believe every child needs a chance. Join us and child by child we will create a better future &amp;ndash; together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;We are one of the UK&amp;rsquo;s most well-respected charities. Founded 140 years ago, we work tirelessly on behalf of tens of thousands of vulnerable children in the UK who need care and protection in order to live safe and happy lives, free from neglect, abuse and exploitation. We are committed to providing the support that will enable these children to enjoy their childhood and fulfil their true potential. As public services have changed over recent years, we have become increasingly involved in delivering services to children funded largely from local authority and Central Government sources. However, complex and competitive tendering processes, requirements for clear evidence and measurement of outcomes and reducing budgets have all contributed to an uncertain and unpredictable operating environment. We&amp;rsquo;ve responded to these changes with a positive and forward-looking attitude, and have continued to grow and build on our reputation in the sector.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;As Director of Finance and Corporate Services, you&amp;rsquo;ll have an unprecedented opportunity to shape and monitor our financial strategy and ensure we are effectively positioned for continued growth. Our ability to manage risk and exercise sound financial judgement is of paramount importance in the current climate and, as a member of our Strategic Leadership Team, you&amp;rsquo;ll make a substantial contribution to our future direction. Through deep financial management expertise, excellent commercial thinking, and your leadership of an established team, you&amp;rsquo;ll influence the way we deliver services, ultimately changing the lives of thousands of young people, children and families.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re looking for someone who shares our values and, while denomination is less important, the appointee will be a committed Christian (this post is subject to an occupational requirement that the holder be a practising Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010).&lt;/strong&gt; You&amp;rsquo;ll be a seasoned financial leader with an excellent track record in the development and implementation of financial and commercial strategy. With a reputation as a trusted senior manager, you&amp;rsquo;ll have delivered change before and will be a confident and inspiring leader, with an open and inclusive style. Whether your background is in the public or private sector, you&amp;rsquo;ll bring absolute integrity and will be an effective strategic thinker with sharp business acumen and the relationship and communication skills needed to secure credibility with a range of stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-size: 1.2em&quot;&gt;To view the job description and person specification, please scroll to the bottom of the page, tick to agree to the privacy policy, then click 'Continue to full details'.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.2em&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Permanent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Employer: Stevenage Borough Council &lt;br /&gt;
Location : Stevenage&lt;br /&gt;
Salary: £73,584 to £85,521&lt;br /&gt;
Closing Date: 12/05/2013&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a member of Stevenage Borough Council's Senior Management Team the Strategic Director (Communities) plays a key role in the leadership of the organisation. The senior officer team work closely with the Leader of the Council and the Executive to set a cohesive direction for the Council and to lead the delivery of real outcomes for the town.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a number of features of the town and the way the council operates that make this role challenging, rewarding and above all full of opportunities to make a real difference to the community and at the same time to use and continually develop your range of skills and experience. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In terms of population served Stevenage Borough Council is a small council but, as the majority of services are delivered by our own workforce, it is a relatively large organisation for a District Council and has a key role to play as both an employer and service provider in the community. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a co-operative council we aim to build on our strong reputation for understanding and working with our communities and you will be expected to work very closely with our customers and key partners. This means that as a director you will need to be able to work both strategically and operationally and critically to have the key skill of being able to translate strategy into meaningful action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With responsibilities that cover the whole portfolios of four Executive Member's, and that impact across all of the council, you will need to be politically astute and be able to communicate effectively with, understand and proactively support the needs of elected members.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Community directorate is the largest within the council and you will lead 350 staff; half of the council's workforce. In addition, as the director responsible for Human Resources and Organisational Development you will need to influence decision making as an advocate of the staff body as a whole, requiring an acute understanding of how to manage people coupled with the emotional intelligence required to get the best from a committed workforce across the organisation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In response to the challenging financial context of local government, and starting from a position of a balanced budget, we have begun a transformation project with the aim of creating a sustainable organisation that can continue to deliver against our corporate priorities in a future with less government support. You will play a key role in shaping and supporting this work which is already seeing an increased investment in staff development in order to equip them for an outlook where they will be required to be more agile in response to changing service demand. This will be coupled with investment in IT resources at the same time as a drive for more efficient and effective process, lean systems and more fluid decision making.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Housing forms a large part of the responsibilities of the directorate with 8300 council tenants and over a 1000 leaseholders plus ambitious plans to develop the Council's housing assets through leveraging every opportunity to deliver new social housing in the town both directly and in partnership. You will need to have or quickly gain credibility and understanding of this particular facet of the role in order to succeed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The whole senior management team at Stevenage Borough Council works closely together in an environment where you can expect to give and receive support and challenge, where good ideas and innovative thinking are positively encouraged and where things are very seldom dull. As a council we like to be known for taking on new challenges, for punching above our weight and for not being afraid to go the extra mile for our community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The role of the Strategic Director (Communities) has a diverse remit covering the strategic leadership of a wide range of both operational and corporate services. Whilst the exact makeup of responsibilities is subject to change depending on business need and relative capacity within the Strategic Management Team it is currently responsible for the following Service Delivery Units (SDU'S):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leisure, Health &amp;amp; Children's Services&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leisure &amp;amp; Culture&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Children's Centres&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Play Centres&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Safeguarding&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strategic Health&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Environmental Health &amp;amp; Licensing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Community Transport &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Human Resources &amp;amp; Organisational Development&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strategic HR and Organisational Development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Employee Relations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Learning and Development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Employee Resourcing &amp;amp; Transactional Services&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Corporate Health &amp;amp; Safety &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Housing, Community &amp;amp; Communications&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Corporate Communications&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Corporate Policy and Strategy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Partnerships&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Community Development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Engagement, consultation &amp;amp; customer focus&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Housing enablement &amp;amp; regeneration&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Homelessness &amp;amp; Housing Advice&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Community Safety &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Housing Management&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tenancy &amp;amp; Lettings Management&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Housing Income Management&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Supported Housing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Anti-Social Behaviour &amp;amp; Family Intervention&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leasehold Services &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Housing Property Services&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Property Repairs and Maintenance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Housing Asset Management&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Housing capital works &amp;amp; investment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Disabled Adaptations &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A role based out of our London, Leeds or Birmingham offices.&amp;nbsp; Our Education Practice is growing rapidly, building on our work across the Department for Education and its agencies, where we are one of only three retained suppliers.&amp;nbsp;Education is one of our newer Practice areas, but we are already having a strong impact across the sector with many new clients in universities, colleges and large schools groups. As Government&amp;nbsp;policy impacts and students' expectations shift, there is great potential for GatenbySanderson to support the need for new executive and non-executive level capacity and skills in educational organisations.&amp;nbsp; We expect to grow our market share significantly in 2013, building on our proven business model and networks across education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Working with Elliott Rae, you could be based out of our London, Birmingham or Leeds offices and will enjoy the challenge and opportunity presented by growing a rapidly developing business area in a firm who knows how to support you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
