Manchester is one of the world’s greatest cities. A place with a reputation for innovation and creativity; a thriving regional economy; and a rich sense of identity. We are a city with a rich history, a vibrant present-day, and much to look forward to in the future.
Manchester prides itself on being a warm and inviting city with something to offer to everyone. We are committed to bringing about a more inclusive city, where people have access to top-class education and training, and where the economic opportunities that such a vibrant city creates are accessible to all.
We have a whole-city approach to building a safe, happy, healthy, and successful future for all children and young people through the ‘Our Year’ programme to become a truly child-friendly city. In Children and Education Services, we are recognised for our reforms and innovation, and have already made huge strides towards delivering excellence.
We are looking for an inspirational Strategic and Operational Leader to develop our Early Help Strategy to meet new requirements outlined in ‘Stable Home Built on Love’ and Working Together 2023. You’ll be responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of our Early Help Hubs, delivery of the Supporting Families Programme, Early Help Partnership Delivery Plan and our Participation and Engagement Strategy.
We have a proven track record in delivering innovation and you will join a team at the forefront of designing and delivering new services such as our nationally recognised Thriving Babies, Confident Parent Programme and developing Thriving Families Service.
Manchester’s ethos is to ensure that all the people in our city are able to thrive, and we are able to benefit from the opportunities that our economic growth brings. Our workforce are at the heart of this – and we have created the conditions whereby colleagues have the skills, knowledge and ability to allow their careers to flourish. Working in Manchester gives you the chance to do things that you wouldn’t get to do in other places, and it is a hugely exciting place to live and work.
