At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for - the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

The Commissioning team is at the centre of children's services in Swindon, driving change and innovation with a relentless focus on improving outcomes. Our ambition is to develop a deeper understanding of our communities and the challenges they face - but also recognise their strengths, assets and aspirations; looking to work with them to improve the outcomes for children, young people and families.

Whilst providing a high-quality service that offers good value for money, we look to commission evidence-based models of support and innovative approaches to achieve our objectives.

**Your next role**

**Who are we looking for?**

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic individual with experience of partnership working, managing projects to deliver the desired outcomes, working in a fast-paced environment and effectively prioritising and managing your own workload.

You will need to be able to analyse need, develop a range of commissioning options, write complex reports and use all elements of the commissioning cycle to ensure we have the right services in place for our children.

You must have safeguarding and the child’s needs at the heart of all you do and be committed to ensuring that children and young people are involved in the development and review of services.
- You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”)._

**Your next package**

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.

Please see our Vision and Values page for more details.
