Job description

**Commissioning Officer - Children in Care in External Placements Grade 9 Full Time Posts**

We are looking to appoint two full time Commissioning Officers to join the new Children in Care in External Placements Team.

Working as part of the Integrated Commissioning Team who are responsible for all aspects of contracting for a wide range of services to meet the strategic needs of Children and Families Services, the team has a specific focus on quality assuring and monitoring the external placement providers who care for our Looked After Children and Care Leavers to ensure good or outstanding placements for our Sheffield children. As the team expands and develops there will also be a role for Commissioners to secure and contract manage a range of services to meet the strategic needs of the service overall.

Both posts will have a clear focus on ensuring the quality of external placements for Children in Care and Care Leavers. This will be through monitoring and quality assurance visits some of which will be out of city. The placements will include residential providers, 16 + accommodation and IFA agencies. It will also include a focus on SEND and other specialist provisions.

There will also be a role for the Commissioning Officers to work alongside our current commissioning services and placements team to develop and implement clear policy and procedures for working together with partner agencies and stakeholders, There will also be a drive to work with social workers and colleagues in the Independent Review Service, to capture the voice of the child in how we evaluate and shape the homes that children and young people live in.

The Integrated Commissioning Service is an exciting place to be as we bring together a range of commissioning functions from across our services. New opportunities are developing to really take forward our prevention agenda and work across traditional service boundaries to deliver lasting positive outcomes for the young people of Sheffield. If you want to be part of driving that change, we would love to hear from you.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and families and expect all staff to share this commitment. If successful, you will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
