6891 - Assistant Director Children's Services - Western Locality

In order to achieve our purpose we require Senior Managers who can demonstrate their ability to lead teams of talented and committed staff; who are able to work within the complexity and uncertainty of commissioning and tendering in the voluntary sector and who are able to display business acumen in a social care setting.

The Assistant Director of Children's Services (ADCS) post represents an opportunity for the successful candidate to be a strategic business leader and ambassador for Barnardo's Children's Services within their locality, delivering the vision and purpose of Barnardo's and ensuring that safe, effective and quality services are delivered consistently to children, young people and their families. 

Our ADCS in the Western Area is retiring this year and we are looking for someone to join the Northern Ireland Children's Services Management Team. While the post will continue to cover this area, ADCS' are expected to be able to travel throughout Northern Ireland and on occasion to the UK.
