Notice Title

Children's Social Care Adviser Doncaster and Slough

Notice Description

The Department for Education (DfE) 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. DfE wishes to appoint an Adviser (an individual, partnership or small team) to provide financial and governance support to both Slough Children's Services Trust and Doncaster Children's Services Trust. The Trust in Doncaster has been in operation for two years and in Slough for over a year. In both cases recent Ofsted monitoring visits found services to be improving and both Trusts have clear plans in place to continue these improvements. The Adviser will: support both Trusts to develop robust, realistic and achievable plans to continue to improve their corporate governance, financial stability and strategic partnerships; and, provide intelligence on Trust issues that arise as the Trusts move from 'requires improvement' to 'good'. Additional information: Contract value is up to maximum of PS51,840 inc VAT.
