Description:

The County of Los Angeles is seeking a Director of Child Protection to advise the Board of Supervisors in creating a single, comprehensive, fully integrated Countywide strategy in child protection. Reporting directly to the Board of Supervisors and working with other County officials, the Director will develop a cross-cutting Child Safety Program Budget, work with internal and external stakeholders to support program improvements and outcomes.

Qualifications:

The capacity most needed in the Director is the ability to assist the Board in carrying forward this critical initiative with result-changing effectiveness in a context where authority over day-to-day operations remains in the hands of very able heads of specialized Departments. This will require the capacity to lead collaboratively by force of argument, by example, by persuasion, and by demonstrating the outstanding intellectual and operational qualities necessary to win and sustain the confidence of the Board. The Director’s practical leverage in the County’s senior ranks will flow directly from the degree to which he/she earns that confidence and that it lends enduring weight and authenticity to the Director’s effort to make the Strategic Plan more than a shelved relic to which only lip service is given.
