The brief

The Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for supporting improvement in local authorities, through government intervention in response to failure or weakness in the provision of children's social care services.

DfE wishes to appoint a small team of Advisers to carry out and deliver operational and strategic reviews, improvements, support and challenge in Birmingham and Sunderland.

The Adviser teams will provide a clear and sustained focus on the areas for improvement and ensure independent oversight of progress in line with agreed improvement plans.

In doing so the Advisers are expected to supervise the programme of change that the authority has embarked on, to drive forward the improvements and implement close monitoring arrangements, and build on the work that has already taken place.
