As part of our large scale change programme, we have developed the ‘Sunderland Way of Working’, focused on making a step change on the way public services are delivered. To ensure our Health, Housing and Adult Services directorate is best placed to deliver on these changes, we are looking for a Head of Care and Support to join this team.

This postholder will be responsible for developing a modern care management structure for adult social care and housing, encompassing all provision across the city. You will need to work closely with commissioners and providers, developing and quality assuring the market in Sunderland to meet the needs of changing agendas, such as personalisation. You will also need to put in place a single community based support system, focused on health and wellbeing of local people.

The exact structure beneath this post is currently under review, but it will cover the services that the directorate either provides directly or commissions. These include home support, extra care sheltered housing, independent living homes for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs, health impact assessments and community equipment store.

Whatever your background, you will need to set the long-term vision for how services will be shaped to meet future demands, allowing all our citizens to live as independently as possible. If you think you have what it takes to provide the strategic and inspirational leadership to deliver change, allowing our staff the freedom to innovate and improve services, then we hope to hear from you soon.

We are London’s largest local authority landlord and manage the third largest housing stock in the country. Our new council administration has made housing its top priority. This new Director post has been created to provide focus, direction and co-ordination to our activities in close collaboration with other council services, external partners and local communities.

Leading our restructured Housing Department, you will take on a broad remit that goes far beyond traditional accountabilities. We want you to drive change and transformation across the new department – both in terms of its operations and culture – which results in a clear focus on service improvement, the quality of homes and customer experience.

It is essential that you can draw on strong housing management experience and offer a proven track record of delivering change and improvement. As a corporate team player who is forward-thinking and politically astute, you will relish the opportunity to take on this high profile and responsible role.
