About the Role
Adult social care in Salford is entering a defining chapter. Following a landmark decision by the City Council, the whole of adult social care is returning to council leadership – creating a unique opportunity to redesign, improve and strengthen how care and support is delivered across our city. This is one of the most significant transformation programmes currently underway in local government.
Our ambition goes beyond organisational change. We want to deliver outstanding outcomes, promote independence, reduce inequalities and reflect the voices of the people who draw on our services, carers and communities.
Significant investment has already been made. We have strengthened leadership, established an experienced Improvement Board and committed ourselves to driving sustainable improvement. Now we are looking to the future and building a service that Salford can be proud of.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Why Salford?
Because opportunities like this come rarely. You’ll join a passionate and committed leadership team at a moment when you can genuinely influence the future direction of a whole adult social care system. The decisions you make, the culture you build and the improvements you lead will shape services for years to come. This is more than a Director role. It’s an opportunity to shape the future of adult social care in one of the UK’s most ambitious cities.
