Your Role
Lead the development and integration of Family Hub services across a designated neighbourhood, with a strong focus on prevention and early intervention to ensure families receive timely support and improved outcomes. As part of the Stockport Family leadership team, you’ll provide strategic and operational leadership to health visiting, early years, parenting, delivering grant funded programmes and evaluating impact. You’ll champion evidence-based practice, manage risks and caseloads, ensure statutory compliance and safeguarding, and build strong multi-agency partnerships. You’ll use performance insight to drive improvement, reduce inequalities and achieve better outcomes for children, young people and families. This is a unique opportunity to lead and manage services across both Stockport Council and Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, reflecting the maturity and ambition of our integrated working arrangements.
About You
You’re a values-driven leader who keeps the families of Stockport at the heart of decisions, succeeds as a team, drives ambition and shows respect. You bring proven success managing integrated children and young people’s services, engaging vulnerable families, leading delivery of the Healthy Child Programme, and building effective partnerships. You motivate multi-disciplinary teams, analyse practice and performance data, manage risk, and deliver grant funded programmes with success. You hold a relevant professional qualification (degree or equivalent) with evidence of CPD; a recognised leadership and management qualification is desirable.
About Us
Join an innovative council committed to prevention and early intervention, laying the foundations for Stockport’s overarching Live Well ambitions.

We value creativity, inclusivity, and continuous improvement, offering flexible working, professional development, and the chance to shape services that make a real difference in our communities.
