You’ll champion innovation, drive transformation, and embed a culture of continuous improvement—always with the voices of people with lived experience at the forefront.
Co-Production at the Core
In Sefton, we believe that the best services are designed with people, not for them. That’s why co-production is central to this role. You’ll work alongside individuals, families, carers, and communities to shape services that reflect real needs and aspirations. You’ll ensure that those with lived experience are not just consulted but empowered to lead and influence change.
