Stoke-on-Trent - which is celebrating 100 years this year - is a fantastic place to live, work and visit. It is a city on a positive journey. Our economy is growing, and we are creating new jobs and delivering regeneration.
Stoke-on-Trent is a city of kindness, where care for one another runs deep. As a city council we have a strong sense of civic pride and absolute commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our residents. We put public health at the heart of all we do. Our overall strategic mission is to improve personal and community wellbeing. We are achieving this through forging and strengthening vital partnerships across the public, voluntary and commercial sectors. We are finding new ways of working with local communities and equipping them with the ability to make more of the decisions which shape their places and daily lives.
The landscape of Stoke-on-Trent is changing for the better thanks to a series of multi-million-pound developments, which are successfully combining the old with the new. These will provide jobs and commercial opportunities, unique places for people to live and much-needed leisure and recreational amenities.
The role we are recruiting for requires a unique and experienced individual with the skills to drive forward our goals, develop outstanding services and improve lives.
The role offers a unique opportunity to develop professionally as well as change lives for the better. The successful candidate will lead the Family Help functions of our children and families services and support our corporate strategic plan.
That plan - called Our City, Our Wellbeing - sets out our vision and priorities for Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the wider city. It has been shaped by the political ambition of the city council’s leadership, as well as the values and aims of the organisation.
