Assistant Commissioner

Summary

Our Commissioning teams deliver services across a range of residents to meet a range of needs, including educational, physical, and mental health.

As an Assistant Commissioner in the Provider Oversight and Support Team, you will work closely with and directly support our providers and contribute towards the oversight of the care market.

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**
- Working with the POST Manager and Senior Commissioner, you will contribute towards and lead projects that support providers and inform the wider system.
- Working with our providers, you will build professional relationships, develop trust, support communication, and facilitate a collaborative and co-produced approach.
- Supporting programme management and working with data and information-collecting systems is a key part of this role.
- Working with Stakeholders to facilitate a wider oversight and offer support.

Our Provider Oversight and Support Team (POST) offers our care providers a single point of contact for advice and support from the Wiltshire Council and facilitates the support of a wider support offer from stakeholders.

This support offer provides early intervention to reduce the impact of Covid and other factors at both provider and sector levels and reduces the impact on the wider system.

This is a full time, temporary post for 9 months.

**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 a customer focus and drive 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 Commissioner, as well as a Senior Commissioner and Provider Oversight and Support Team Manager, in what is a fast-paced role, therefore requiring you to be agile, a great communicator, and able to lead on multiple projects.

If you are looking for that next challenge and 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
