WELCOME TO LANCASHIRE
Thank you for your interest in joining us as one of our new senior leaders within Adults, Health and Wellbeing at Lancashire County Council.
Lancashire is one of the largest and most complex local authorities in the country; a £2.2bn organisation serving 1.27 million residents through the dedication of more than 13,000 colleagues. With a rich mix of vibrant cities, historic market towns and stunning rural and coastal landscapes, it is a county of great diversity and ambition. Our scale and breadth make this an extraordinary place to make a difference, not just to local services, but to the lives of communities across the North West and beyond.
The work we do here has real impact every single day - supporting people to live healthy, independent and fulfilling lives, protecting our most vulnerable residents and working to reduce inequalities across our communities. The four roles featured on this microsite are pivotal to our continued improvement and transformation.
This is an especially significant time to join us. The Government’s programme of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape how public services are designed and delivered across Lancashire. This creates exciting possibilities for system leadership, service redesign and innovation at scale. The leaders we appoint now will help shape the future model of local government and play a central role in ensuring adults, health and wellbeing remain at the heart of that transformation.
Across all four roles, we are seeking values-driven, ambitious, and system-leaders who are motivated by public service and confident operating in complex systems. You will be joining a supportive and experienced senior leadership team committed to openness, continuous improvement and shared accountability.
Lancashire is ambitious for its residents. We are proud of our progress, but clear about the challenges ahead; increasing complexity of need, financial pressures and persistent health inequalities. We are looking for leaders who can combine strategic vision with operational grip and who are energised by the opportunity to lead at scale and influence across systems.
If you are excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of Adults, Health and Wellbeing in one of the country’s largest county councils, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Thank you for considering Lancashire County Council as the next step in your leadership journey.
With Best Wishes,
Helen Coombes Executive Director Adults, Health & Wellbeing Lancashire County Council
