Wrexham council services for children
SHARE

A lot of adults and children rely on the council. Their quality of life depends on the expertise and care we provide.

  • Head of Service – Corporate Parenting
  • Head of Service / Responsible Individual – Provider Services

If you work in social services, you’ll already know that.

And if you’ve got experience leading and managing teams – and you’re looking for your next challenge – you might be interested in these two jobs…

Head of Service – Corporate Parenting

We’re looking for someone who can make a real difference to children’s lives – overseeing services like adoption and fostering, and making sure that children and care-leavers who are looked-after by the council get the right support and opportunities.

This is a senior role, responsible for around 85 employees and a budget of £10.8 million.

So we need someone with plenty of leadership experience, and a sound grasp of performance and budget-management.

In return, we’ll offer excellent training and development – including access to one-to-one coaching.

There’s also generous annual leave, flexible working and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Interested? Find out more on our website.

Head of Service / Responsible Individual – Provider Services

We’re also looking for someone to manage the growth of our in-house adults and children’s social care provider services – overseeing the quality of care and support we provide.

They’ll have a broad knowledge of social care legislation, along with experience in leading social care services…and managing a large and diverse work-force together with a budget of £11.6 million

We’ll offer excellent training and development, including access to one-to-one coaching, generous annual leave, flexible working and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
