While we go through the processes for recruiting permanently to the role Helen Coombes will be joining us as the interim Executive Director for Adult Social Care and Health on April 3.
Helen, who is currently at Stockport Council, is really looking forward to working with us and I am sure that she will be hoping to meet many of you when she arrives. Her focus will be on inspection readiness, statutory duties and executive system partnerships.
In the meantime Simon Stevens, Director of Adult Care, will be the interim Executive Director and fulfil the statutory role of Director of Adult Social Services.
