To support this, we are remodelling our teams, creating new leadership roles, and increasing strategic capacity at every level.
As Assistant Director, you will bring professional expertise, ambition, and a deep commitment to improving outcomes, working collaboratively across services and with partners to embed a culture of accountability, high performance, and continuous improvement.

Head of Service - Children’s Social Care x4 - salary: £85,125&nbsp;
Happy. Heard. Healthy. Achieving.&nbsp;&nbsp;
At Sefton Council, we are on a bold and ambitious journey to transform outcomes for our children and young people. We’ve already made significant progress through a number of initiatives, including our newly restructured front door, approach to reunification of families, and our systemic and trauma-informed practice models. With transformative reforms also on the horizon, the future of social care is being redefined and we are leading the way, ready to embrace the change and shape what comes next.&nbsp;
We hold a firm commitment to sustainable, long-term improvement. That means working closely with our partners across health, education, the voluntary sector, and the wider community. Together, we are creating the right conditions for vulnerable children and young people to thrive and live well. To support this, we are remodelling our teams, creating new leadership roles, and increasing strategic capacity at every level.&nbsp;
As Head of Service, you will bring strategic insight, operational expertise, and a relentless focus on impact, leading a designated service area with clarity and purpose. As a key member of our senior leadership team, you will shape and implement policy, drive performance, and ensure our services are inspection-ready and continuously improving. You’ll work closely with partners, boards, and frontline teams to embed a culture of accountability, innovation, and excellence, using data and insight to inform decisions and deliver meaningful change.&nbsp;&nbsp;
