Welcome Message from Amanda Jones, Director of Operations: Adult Social Care
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in this exciting leadership role.
Our Strategic Lead for Target Operating Model Delivery role is unique in its scope and opportunity for the right candidate to demonstrate the breadth of their skills and capabilities.
We’re ambitious in our vision for the county and its people, and therefore we’re looking for someone equally as ambitious. Our vision is to make the most of all that Gloucestershire has to offer, help improve the quality of life for every community, support businesses to be successful and make sure the county is a place where people want to live, work and visit.
We know that to deliver on this vision, we need to be clear on our ambitions and we’ve described these in our council strategy. In Gloucestershire we recognise that we work as part of a wider system, serving our community and are proud of our working relationships with partners, including Gloucestershire’s six district councils, police, and voluntary sector, as well as a well-established Integrated Care System.
Our new Strategic Lead will play a key part within our Adult Social Care (ASC) senior leadership team, working closely with myself, and will lead on the design and delivery of a transformational change programme aimed at reshaping how services are delivered to adults across the county. This high-impact post is central to driving innovation, enhancing service quality, and achieving meaningful, positive outcomes for the people of Gloucestershire.
The county of Gloucestershire is also a great place to live and work, with vibrant towns, beautiful countryside, impressive schools, and great travel connections.
I’m interested to hear from candidates whose ambitions match our own at the council. The right candidate will be able to demonstrate the ability to lead within a complex organisation, show a track record of delivering improved outcomes and service excellence, and bring passion and positive challenge to an already strong team of skilled directors and assistant directors.
If you’d welcome the opportunity to discuss the role directly with me, this can be arranged by emailing ASCrecruitment@gloucestershire.gov.uk.
Good luck with your application.
Amanda Jones
Director of Operations for Adult Social Care
