A leader with extensive experience in social care, ideally Children’s Services, who can confidently manage complexity and a range of different service types to help Aberlour develop our continuum of care model.
A changemaker who can create new opportunities –
- who can help and support senior operational managers design new services to meet the needs of children, young people and families across Scotland, while also provide strategic oversight of the evaluation and impact of services, sharing learning and helping put policy into practice.
- who can relentlessly focus on creating opportunities for and with children and families.
