Job description

Terms & Conditions: Permanent, Full time, 37 hours per week

Department: Adults & Heath

Shortlisting date: 16th September 2025

Interview date: 8th October 2025

We are looking to recruit two brand new key senior roles that will shape and lead our adult social care, housing needs and commissioning services. The roles will give you the opportunity to build on our existing strong foundations and transform our models of care and support.





As an ambitious authority we plan to grow our economy and become an economic centre of activity ensuring great opportunities for our local population. Our borough is a warm and friendly place to live and work with a real sense of community and togetherness.





We are extremely proud of the recently announced outcome from The Care Quality Commission having assessed our services as good and we are now excited to move on to the next stage of our development.





If you are considering a new challenge and are an experienced, energetic senior manager in the area of adult social care, then these posts could be what you have been waiting for.





One role will focus on the senior leadership of our in-house social care provider and all age social care commissioning functions. The second will focus upon the leadership of our social work and housing needs services.





Both roles will require you to creatively shape and implement strategies across health and social care. They will provide a great opportunity to lead your teams to ensure we thoughtfully use our resources to make a real difference to the lives of local people, addressing inequalities and taking an asset-based approach to all we do.





Our Public Health service is strategically placed to help inform our strategies and to support our residents to achieve the best possible outcomes. Reporting directly to our Strategic Director for Adults and Health (DASS), you will facilitate and promote innovation and transform the way in which we commission and deliver services using population health data and preventative approaches to inform your decision making.



If you have extensive experience of managing across a diverse and complex workforce and are experienced in partnership and multi-agency working then this could be the post for you.



If you would like an informal conversation, then please contact Mark Warren on 07977 352323 or mark.warren@blackburn.gov.uk





In your application please ensure you complete the section about your suitability for the role. Alternatively you can attach a separate document.
