Executive Director - Children's Services

Barnsley is a high performing Council with ambition, flair and imagination. We have transformed our relationships with our communities through our award winning area council model, achieved sustainability despite austerity through our Future Council Programme and are revitalising Barnsley through investment in the Town Centre and Principal Towns. We are now seeking two new Executive Directors to turn our vision for a brighter future, a better Barnsley into reality.

As the Executive Director Children Services, you will build on excellent foundations and help us deliver truly outstanding services to our children and young people. Key priorities will be to deliver outstanding children’s social care services, improve our SEND outcomes, raise educational aspirations and narrow the gap. To be successful, you will have a background in children services and strong knowledge of children’s social care but also have the drive and enthusiasm to keep developing creative solutions that support our children and young people.
