Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset County Council Full time

**Why should I choose Somerset Council?**
Good question.

Well, for a start, we’re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that’s why we’re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you’re looking for a place where your work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

We have an exciting development opportunity for an **18-month fixed term** role within the **Adults Commissioning Team** to work in our innovative and supportive team as a **Senior Commissioning Officer** supporting Intermediate Care Services to enable people who need support and reablement to be discharged from hospital. This is an integrated health and social care partnership.

**What will I be doing?**
We’re working to improve the lives of people in Somerset - and you’ll be a key part of that.

Your day-to-day work will involve:

- Providing expertise and strong management to drive performance and to commission and/or deliver the integrated system priorities and meet service targets within Intermediate Care.
- Providing clarity, management and motivation in delivering the Operating Model for Intermediate Care as part of transformation programmes as required.
- Being a **key contributor and shaper of future direction for Intermediate Care** in Somerset, supporting the Head of Intermediate Care.
- Leading the strategic commissioning of Intermediate Care providers and the development of future models of integrated care in the community, developing links to neighbourhood teams across Adult Social Care and Health.
- Leading the commissioning activity for the intermediate care providers on D2A, bedded pathways and the voluntary sector.
- Working closely with both our commissioned Intermediate Care providers and NHS provider services including our Acute and Community Hospitals, Hospital Social Work Teams, to ensure a robust model of capacity and demand are met.
- Being outcome focussed and wanting the best for Somerset adults who need short term rehabilitation and reablement as a part of their discharge plan.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:

- Can work in a complex challenging environment with competing priorities
- Are highly organised and resilient
- Are a good problem solver
- Are a good negotiator and influencer
- Have well developed verbal and written communication skills
- Have a professional qualification / degree level or appropriate

A background in Adult Social Care, Health and or relevant Integrated systems services would be advantageous.

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What will I be offered in return?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more

**Anything else I should know?**

You will be based in our Taunton office with a requirement to travel county wide.

The salary range for this role is **£37,261 to £41,496 per annum.**

On 1st April 2023, the County and District councils in Somerset were replaced by a new single unitary authority - Somerset Council. It’s an exciting time to join us as we work together to deliver the new council for Somerset.

This role requires a Basic Criminal background check via the Disclosure Procedure.
