Are you passionate about improving the lives of adults with learning disabilities? Do you thrive in a role where collaboration, innovation and strategic thinking come together to transform services and strengthen communities? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We are looking for a motivated and forward‑thinking Learning Disabilities Commissioner to join our high‑performing Strategy & Service Development team. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of Learning Disabilities provision in Enfield—driving change, championing co‑production, and ensuring that the people we support live fulfilling, independent and connected lives.
About the Role
As our Learning Disabilities Commissioner, you will play a central role in delivering high‑quality, evidence‑based and person‑centred commissioning across the Integrated Learning Disabilities Service (ILDS). You’ll work closely with colleagues across Adult Social Care, Health, the voluntary sector, service users, carers and providers to ensure our services reflect best practice, statutory requirements and the evolving needs of our residents.
You will lead commissioning projects across the full commissioning cycle—from needs analysis and service design to procurement, contract monitoring and service review. You’ll help drive system‑wide transformation programmes, support the development of innovative prevention and early‑intervention services, and ensure Learning Disabilities needs are well‑represented at strategic partnership boards and decision‑making forums.
This role comes at a pivotal time as we strengthen our market position, deepen our co‑production approach and deliver a more sustainable and resilient LD offer for the future.
What You’ll Do
✔ Lead evidence‑based commissioning to improve outcomes for adults with learning disabilities
✔ Undertake needs assessments and use data to inform strategic planning
✔ Develop high‑quality service specifications and deliver procurement activity
✔ Build strong relationships with providers, partners, clinicians and stakeholders
✔ Drive innovation, co‑production and best practice across the LD pathway
✔ Monitor provider performance and lead service improvements
✔ Contribute to cross‑Council transformation programmes and strategic partnership boards
✔ Ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory frameworks
✔ Champion person‑centred, strengths‑based and inclusive approaches
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone who is:
✨ Collaborative — able to engage meaningfully with residents, carers, NHS partners and the VCS
✨ Analytical & Insight‑Driven — comfortable working with data, research and performance information
✨ Confident & Credible — able to present to senior leaders, write strategic reports and influence decisions
✨ Organised & Proactive — able to manage complex workstreams and deliver at pace
✨ Values‑Driven — committed to equity, inclusion and improving the lives of Enfield residents
Experience in commissioning, service development or strategic roles in health, social care or the voluntary sector is essential.
Why Enfield?
You’ll be joining a passionate, supportive and visionary team committed to co‑production, community‑based prevention and delivering meaningful impact. Our Integrated LD Service is known for strong partnership working, excellent transitions work and national‑level strengths in employment and independence.
We value creativity, compassion and curiosity—and we’ll support you to thrive, grow and bring your best self to work.
