Jobs

Manchester’s young people, like the members of our Youth Council shown here, are simply inspiring. They’re part of a world-class city, renowned for culture, leisure and sporting success, as well as incredible diversity. Manchester City Council has earned a reputation for being one of the most innovative local authorities in the country. Firmly at the forefront of the devolution agenda, we’ve changed the paradigm across a whole range of services, from buses to integrated health and social care.

Since 2017, our Children’s Services have been on an incredible journey of transformation. This is an exceptional opportunity to play a pivotal role in continuing this rapid trajectory of improvement so that children and families in our city can live their most fulfilling lives. It’s a full spectrum role – from embedding excellence as an everyday service expectation to building and shaping partnerships of purpose, to actively interrogating and influencing the evolution of systems, and contributing to the professional conversation at a regional and national level.

We’re looking for a very special person who can bring both experience and insight to this most important job. Your track record will be exemplary, and your commitment and creativity will have won you the respect of colleagues, politicians and peers alike. Able to think beyond the mainstream about resources, skills and service design, you’ll understand how to maximise the effectiveness of children’s services through collaboration as well as commissioning. It’s a stand-out job in one of the most exciting cities in Europe, and an incredible opportunity to make sure young people are at the heart of Manchester’s whole growth agenda.
