Head of Commissioning Assurance and Reform

We’re seeking a forward-thinking individual with significant experience and a thorough understanding of commissioning, contract, transformation and change initiatives particularly within a social care context but we recognise the benefit of working within a wider health and care context.

You will be able to demonstrate strategic planning skills that support innovation and improvement in our services and leadership skills that empower and enable our staff in their development and delivery.

This is a unique opportunity to shape and develop the commissioning for social care and for services across the wider council. If this sounds like the role for you, we’d love to hear from you!
