Senior Commissioner

Senior Commissioners lead and develop projects that improve the lives of Wiltshire residents. Our Commissioning teams deliver services across the age range of residents to meet a range of needs, including educational, physical, and mental health needs.

**LIVE**-WORK**-DEVELOP**

At Wiltshire, we take work-life balance seriously, therefore we actively encourage hybrid working to be part of the new 'normal' working pattern. This means being in Wiltshire 5 days a week is not essential.

**About the role**
- Work alongside the Commissioning Managers and Assistant Commissioners by taking the lead on complex projects within our Families and Children’s commissioning team.
- You will be supported to seek innovative and effective ways to improve the outcomes of Wiltshire residents
- You will use your extensive commissioning knowledge and experience to enable individuals to live as independently as possible for as long as possible
- You will work collaboratively with our communities and partners to ensure the right care at the right time is available to improve the lives of individuals.

**Families and Children's team**

In the Families and Children’s Commissioning team we work across the Council, with such teams as Education and Skills, Social Care, Business Insights and our Commissioning colleagues.

We also work and engage with partners outside the Council including the Integrated Care Board, The Wiltshire Parent Carer Council, and a wide range of third party service providers. We commission services from 0 to 25-year-olds, and are responsible for ensuring there are sufficient Early Years childcare places, and social care placements for all of the children and young people of Wiltshire who need one.

**About you**

We are calling on professionals with a passion for social care and support services. You will bring with you knowledge and experience of commissioning services as well as being customer-focused and driven to ensure the residents of Wiltshire have the right services at the right time, catering to their needs.

You will be working with a team of Assistant Commissioners, Seniors, and Commissioning Managers, in what is a fast-paced role. You, therefore need to be agile, a great communicator, and able to lead on multiple projects.

If you are looking for that next challenge, or want to work for an organisation that thrives on growing and developing its own staff, yet still being able to have a work-life balance, then give us a call for an informal chat
