Commissioning - Enhancing Outcomes
We have a rare opportunity for an outstanding leader to join our dedicated Commissioning Team as a Service Manager!
Our Commissioning Service is responsible for developing a strategic approach to commissioning accommodation and community-based support for children, young people and adults in Wiltshire. With a focus on a "whole-life pathway," the service is dedicated to supporting Wiltshire residents continuously throughout their lives.
In this role, you will be responsible for the operational management of a specialist service, overseeing day-to-day performance in collaboration with the relevant Head of Service. As a subject matter expert, you will lead the identification, development, and implementation of effective commissioning strategies aimed at enhancing service delivery.
You will ensure that Team Managers are delivering front-line services efficiently and effectively, maintaining high standards of performance across their teams. Additionally, you will develop and implement co-production initiatives and other collaborative efforts with partners, such as health services, to achieve the highest levels of public satisfaction.
Our ideal candidate will hold a degree in a relevant subject or possess extensive experience in evidence-based commissioning and staff management. Significant expertise in Adults Commissioning, including working with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and other regulatory bodies alongside a deep understanding of relevant legislation, such as the Care Act will be essential. The successful candidate will be expected to lead strategically within a politically diverse organisation, navigating the complex and often competing demands of public service delivery with confidence and clarity.
