At Derbyshire County Council, we are ambitious for our varied and diverse communities, building on our success and continuing our journey as a modern and effective organisation. Our ‘Best Lives’ strategy is clear in its ambition to empower residents to live independently and lead fulfilling lives in their communities, taking a strengths-based approach to care and support. This has led to a whole new shape to our leadership team in adult social care and health that will change how we work as an organisation to deliver a resident focused service that is designed to tackle the challenges of the future.
The Director of Quality, Performance and Safeguarding is a new role in our leadership team, responsible for leading the development of our self-assessment and assurance activity that delivers a culture of continuous improvement across the organisation and wider market. You will implement clear performance management, compliance and audit functions that will be an underlying part of our delivery model, and will inform the development of our wider strategy across adult social care and health. We have recently received a ‘Good’ CQC assessment, one of the first in the country, however, we are eager to achieve more, responding to the changing demands of our county population.
This is an opportunity to make a real difference to the resident...
