About the Role
Lead the Future of Adult Social Care at the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We are creating a new vision for Adult Social Care that places people, communities, partnerships and our staff at the heart of everything we do. Inspired by the voices of our residents and staff, and aligned with the NHS 10 Year Health Plan, we are transforming support through neighbourhood-based, preventative and integrated approaches.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help redesign services, strengthen communities and improve outcomes for residents. The people of Greenwich seek exceptional leaders who can work across organisational boundaries, inspire teams and deliver meaningful change.

As Head of Service – Community Wellbeing & Resilience, you will lead the development of integrated community wellbeing services, creating stronger connections between health, social care, communities and the voluntary sector. You will have responsibility for the hospital social work team, reablement, discharge to assess, occupational therapy and the multi-agency joint emergency team.

Your leadership will focus on breaking down barriers between organisations and services, strengthening prevention, reablement and early intervention, reducing avoidable escalation of need and unnecessary admissions, improving access to coordinated support, and enabling communities and voluntary organisations to play a greater role in promoting wellbeing and resilience.

This role is about more than service leadership; it is about shaping a culture of partnership, integration and innovation that places residents at the centre of everything we do. Join us to help build a stronger, fairer and more sustainable system of care and support for Greenwich residents.
