Local Government Jobs

The policy and strategy team is a new team responsible for leading strategic development across the Council’s health, adult social care and homelessness functions. We are working on a number of projects from mental health and older people, to employment, to third sector commissioning to youth homelessness. We work across a range of partnerships – in particular with the NHS on the borough’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and on the integration of commissioning and community services.

Adults Health and Wellbeing is pursuing a far-reaching programme of public service reform, transforming social care and making personalisation a reality for many of the borough’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged residents. All of the directorate’s services are recognised for excellence, with an ambitious plan in place for the year ahead.

Can you provide policy and strategic development and support to help us shape our services and direction? Working with the policy and strategy managers you will play a key role across the team’s full range of responsibilities including strategy development, joint strategic needs analysis, supporting the transforming social care programme, equalities and business planning.
