About the Role
We are seeking a strategic, compassionate, and creative leader to head our Adults & Health Strategy Team. This pivotal role is central to Camden’s mission to improve health outcomes, reduce inequality, and ensure adult social care supports dignity and independence. You will lead a diverse team to shape and deliver forward-thinking strategies focused on health equity, integration, prevention, and neighbourhood-based care. Partnering closely with senior leaders, elected members, and health partners, you will drive transformation through human-centred, design-led approaches that embed co-production, participation, and relational practice.

Reporting to the Director of Strategy, Design & Insight and accountable to the Executive Director for Adults and Health, you will influence policy and service change across Adult Social Care, Public Health, and Health and Well-Being. Your leadership will help turn Camden’s ambitious missions into meaningful action on the ground, fostering a culture of trust, innovation, and continuous learning to ensure the team thrives while delivering impactful, evidence-based change that puts people first.

Experience

About you
You combine vision with pragmatism, expertly balancing big-picture thinking with practical delivery. You are a committed learner and problem solver who builds psychological safety and wellbeing within teams. You champion equality and anti-racist leadership at every step and are curious about evolving public services to better serve people.

Qualifications
