Notice Information

Notice Title

Children's Services Commissioner in Buckinghamshire

Notice Description

The Department is responsible for supporting improvement in local authorities, through government intervention, in response to failure or weakness in the provision of children's social care services. This is done in part through drawing down external expertise, from various sectors, to support local authorities in these circumstances. The Department wishes to appoint a Commissioner to undertake a review in Buckinghamshire County Council. The Commissioner will play a high profile role in a challenging political and delivery environment. They will bring their extensive and proven skills in children's social care transformation to delivering a robust assessment as to how improvements to services for the most vulnerable children can best be secured within the local context. In doing so they will set expectations for how services can best be delivered outside of council control, leading and brokering relationships with senior council leaders and their partner organisations. Alongside this, they will direct work to secure urgent improvements to ensure that children in the Authority are safe. Additional information: Deadline for receipt of tender 12 noon on 9 February 2018
