**Permanent**
**Working 36.5 hours per week**

In Birmingham we have bold ambitions for our city and our citizens, and there is no bigger, or more exciting, place to work right now. We are determined to give every citizen a better quality of life, end inequality, increase early intervention and give people more opportunity to remain in their homes.

Adult Social Care here in Birmingham has an excellent track record of successful transformation and integrated working with our NHS partners. The well-being of citizens is at the very heart of what we do and we value our committed and passionate workforce that achieves this by working in partnership with individuals, families and their communities.

This is an opportunity not to be missed, so join us and excel as an outstanding and courageous senior commissioner and skilled system leader by further transforming our services for citizens with complex needs and embedding integration to build empowered communities for adults and families.

Reporting to the Director of Adult Social Care Commissioning, your responsibilities will include learning disabilities and autism, transitions, day opportunities and respite provision, advocacy, support for unpaid carers and those vulnerable adult services that support citizens with disabilities. Your role will involve all aspects of commissioning, strategic partnerships, quality improvement and commercial development.

This is a new portfolio of responsibilities reflecting the importance of this work for the City Council and our partners in the NHS. Your objective will be to embed an innovative commissioning approach that shapes markets and promotes the key principles of independence, supporting citizens to achieve fulfilling, healthy, socially and economically active lives, recognising the rich diversity of the city and its citizens.

The role calls for a sound understanding of commissioning, combined with the creativity to develop strategic approaches that are rooted in the lived experiences of our citizens. The ability to work effectively and connect with people quickly across the health and social care system and people with lived experience is essential. With your grip of strategic, tactical and emotional intelligence you will be the kind of collaborative and encouraging leader who embodies our approach.

Working closely with colleagues in adults and children’s social care and the NHS, and as part of a committed and experienced management team, this is an opportunity shape the future experiences and life chances of citizens with complex needs in the largest local authority in the country. Together we can make transformation happen.
