- Excellent analytical skills which will enable you to interpret a range of data and achieve value for money across our commissioned services.
- An understanding of the Commissioning Cycle and care and support services for vulnerable people.

About the role
As our next Senior Commissioning Officer, you’ll work on a range of commissioning and contract management functions across our key client group areas (which include learning disability, neurodiversity, mental health and physical and sensory impairment services) to ensure the delivery of high quality services which achieve value for money and positive outcomes.

The role is integral to our Working Age Adults (WAA) Commissioning Team who are collectively responsible for all aspects of the Commissioning Cycle including contract management, negotiating around value for money, small and large scale procurement activity, service reviews and developing new and innovative provision.
