JOB DESCRIPTION
Are you ready to lead with purpose and care with impact?
South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership is offering an exciting opportunity for a visionary and experienced leader to join our senior management team. This role will play a pivotal part shaping the strategic direction and
ensuring the effective operational delivery of adult health and community care services.
Building on the achievements and successes of the Health and Social Care Partnership – one of the first established in Scotland – this role will make a real and lasting difference to integrated health and social care service delivery for people and places across South Ayrshire.
Our vision is to work collaboratively to achieve the best possible health and wellbeing outcomes for our communities. The Head of Community Health and Care Services will play a vital role in realising this vision by ensuring the delivery of equitable, high-quality, seamless and person-centred care – placing patients, service users and carers right at the heart of everything we do.
Reporting to the Director, you will be an exceptional, determined and politically aware leader with significant and consistent achievement at a senior level, and a proven track record of successfully effecting change, continually improving services, and establishing high-performing and positive organisational cultures.
You will also have a strong background in transforming services, partnership working, managing people and budgets within a large organisation – preferably within the NHS, local government or wider public sector – and achieving key outcomes that make a difference to people’s lives.
With responsibility for a budget of £71 million and around 900 staff (WTE) across a wide range of social work and NHS services, this will be a challenging role but one where the right person will make a positive and lasting impact and ensure that we provide the health and care systems that meet people’s needs.

ABOUT US
South Ayrshire has a wonderful environment that sets it apart from other parts of Scotland and makes it an extremely desirable place to live, work and visit. Situated
in the southwest of Scotland on the beautiful Clyde Coast, the area is home to around 112,450 people.
While the majority of residents live in the coastal towns of Troon, Prestwick and Ayr, around one third live in the smaller towns of Maybole and Girvan or in rural areas stretching from Symington in the north to Ballantrae and Loch Ryan in the south.
South Ayrshire possesses beautiful scenery, both coastal and rural, as well as a wealth of cultural heritage, castles and historic buildings. These include Culzean Castleand Country Park near Maybole and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and Burns Cottage in Alloway.
The area is renowned for having some of the finest golf courses in the world, including the prestigious Royal Troon and Turnberry. Scotland’s premier horse racing
centre, Ayr Racecourse, is based in Ayr and offers more racing days than any other Scottish course, including the Scottish Grand National and Ayr Gold Cup.
Given our coastal location, there are also plenty of opportunities to pursue water sports. Troon’s picturesque harbour attracts many visitors and yachting enthusiasts
who can enjoy the first-class facilities of the Troon Yacht Haven, one of the Clyde’s leading sailing centres.
