Could you lead services that make a difference every day?
We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Adult Services to lead a diverse portfolio of services supporting older people, adult mental health, social prescribing, perimenopause support, and community wellbeing. As a member of our senior leadership team, you’ll provide strategic direction, support high-performing teams, and ensure our services continue to make a meaningful difference to people across Kent.
This is a rare opportunity to combine strategic leadership with genuine social impact. You’ll work closely with communities, partners, and commissioners to develop innovative, evidence-driven services that reduce inequalities, strengthen community connections, and help create the conditions for people to thrive. If you’re an ambitious, values-driven leader who wants to shape both services and systems, we’d love to hear from you.
