Learning and Inclusion Lead Commissioner (SEND) – full time on a fixed term basis for 8 months until end of February 2026
We believe in supporting people and their families and carers to exercise choice and control in relation to how their needs are met. As a lead commissioner you’ll manage strategic planning and commissioning projects that relate to a range of services which support children and young people. Taking a lead on the development of our long-term strategic commissioning plans that enable us to deliver our vision for the children and families of Leicester.
Managing either the team responsible for commissioning a range of services and support to meet the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities or the team responsible for services and support for children and their families supported by our children’s social care and early help teams.
This will include developing new services, strengthening our integrated pathways, and support and reviewing existing services to ensure they work well for our children, young people and families, ensuring support is there at the time families and children need it most.
Key to this is working closely with our partners, particularly the NHS and our schools and other education providers, and our voluntary sector to ensure families, children and young people can access services that are joined-up and fit for purpose. A key part of the role is the work you will do to facilitate true partnership working between stakeholders and particularly young people and families as part of our ambitions around both coproduction and integration.
Leicester is a diverse and vibrant city, as a lead commissioner you will grow our reputation as a council that works hard to bring our communities together working with one purpose – to make our city a great place to live, work and to grow old in. You’ll understand how to develop complex partnerships and be dedicated to multi-disciplinary working. You’ll be an exceptional leader able to manage, direct and develop staff both within and outside the service. As an experienced and adaptable commissioner, you’ll use innovation and creativity to find efficiencies in the way we commission.
And, as a member of our team, you’ll have endless opportunities to help shape the future for residents, colleagues, and ultimately, your career.
Join us and you’ll find a warm and welcoming place, where you feel you belong. Somewhere that understands your needs and offers the flexibility to meet them. That encourages you to voice your opinions, put forward ideas and gives you the chance to make them happen. That gives you the right support at the right time, so you can develop and progress.
The SEND lead commissioner is fixed term for 8 months, is full time, 37 hours per week. With working hours typically daytime, Monday to Friday. With flexibility in hours and location that fit the services needs.
At the current time, as part of our commitment to facilitate hybrid working, we are asking our teams in strategic commissioning to be in the office for a minimum of one working day every week.
