Lincoln Lincolnshire, United Kingdom Lincolnshire County Council Full time

Are you looking for a fresh challenge, working with a friendly and dedicated team who are committed to driving positive change in a dynamic environment? If you have knowledge or experience of contract management, strong communication skills and can work with people at all levels, the newly-created role of Senior Contract Officer could be for you

About the Service

Commercial Services - Infrastructure is responsible for the procurement and contract management of numerous support services contracts. Its extensive work programme covers a diverse range of procurement and contract management projects. The team is responsible for ensuring contracts are commissioned, procured, and managed effectively.

The team offers a friendly and welcoming environment, and new starters are offered a comprehensive induction programme. The team has successfully embraced the Smarter Working Policy and operates on a mixture of home and office-based working, embracing a healthy work-life balance. The team’s nominal work location is the main County Council campus in the heart of Lincoln’s historic city centre, but the majority of working is likely to be home-based.

About the Team

The Contract Management Team is in a growth phase - responsible for ensuring that the Council optimises existing and future corporate support services such as IMT and Customer Services, and will develop involvement in other contracts across the Council.

The Senior Contract Officer will play a critical role in holding service providers to account for delivery, supporting the development of service improvements and monitoring contractual performance. The postholder will be responsible for proactively developing the Council’s future approach to contract management. The role is diverse and challenging and requires a very high degree of accuracy and attention to detail. It provides an opportunity to work on key contracts, with scope to develop the service, processes and future direction.

About You

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual capable of working both autonomously and as part of a team with the ability to be calm under pressure. You will have excellent analytical skills, tenacity, and the ability to communicate effectively at all levels within the Council and externally. You will be required to manage demanding and competing priorities, and work to tight deadlines. You will be familiar with financial systems and have substantial experience of contract management and/ or procurement.

About our offer

Our comprehensive range of additional benefits for this post include:

• Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, widely recognised as one of the leading contributory schemes.

• Annual leave entitlement of 28 days (increased after 5 years’ continuous local government service), together with Bank Holidays and the option to purchase additional leave.

• Varied local and national discount schemes, plus cycle to work and green car leasing initiatives.

• ‘Smarter Working’ - flexible working patterns encompassing home and office-based working, and flexi-time.

• Comprehensive wellbeing offer for all staff, including dedicated occupational health support.

• Professional support, learning and development, with internal and external training opportunities and the payment of one professional subscription per annum where appropriate.
