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.

The adviser will work closely with the Chief Executive and Council officials, leading the development and implementation of an improvement plan and embedding a culture of effective practice. They will provide specialist input in areas of weakness identified by Ofsted and seek to build capacity and skills to ensure improvement is sustained in the long-term. They will monitor progress and report regularly to Ministers.
The successful bidder will bring their extensive and proven skills in children's social care improvement to support the delivery of a programme of change to services for the most vulnerable children in Kingston Upon Hull.
