**About us**

Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. Because, we’re not just home to UK’s fast-growing economy. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. **Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.**

**The role**

The Strategic Commissioner is a key role in the adults’ commissioning service. The Adults’ Commissioning team is responsible for a wide portfolio of services for adults including domiciliary care, care homes, reablement, integrated neighbourhood development, community equipment and the Better Care Fund.

In this role, you will work as a Strategic Commissioner and contribute to the on-going development of a strengths-based, person-centered approach in adult social care as set out in Supporting People, Connecting Communities, our plan for living and ageing well in Camden. You will manage a portfolio that includes commissioning of reablement services plus additional commissioning priorities as required. You will work with partners in health and care developing and implementing strategic priorities linked to intermediate care, such as discharge pathways, recovery, reablement and rehabilitation in the community. You will oversee the Better Care Fund (BCF) and be responsible for the BCF reporting framework.

You will work effectively with internal and external partners to implement all aspects of the health and social care agenda to improve outcomes for residents. You will support the development of a neighbourhood working approach across the health, social care and voluntary sector system.

Working in this role you will support the Head of Service in developing commissioning approaches, quality assurance systems and a range of other identified priorities for the directorate and the wider adults’ partnerships. You will contribute to the overall leadership of the service, which will include representing the department at strategic meetings.

You will be required to support and lead change programmes and service redesign. You will work with residents and stakeholders to co-produce services and plans, analyse and interpret complex data and facts and research best practice. You will use this knowledge creatively to develop innovative commissioning options that support decision-making.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require an Enhanced DBS.

**About you**

You will need knowledge of commissioning and have an understanding of adult social care and health services especially in relation to reablement, hospital discharge and intermediate care.

For this role, you will be required to manage staff including support, supervision, performance management and professional development.

In this role, you will be required to have experience of writing reports and presenting reports to a range of stakeholders including senior managers and elected members. You will also contribute to the development of Council policy and strategies.

You will have experience of project management, which includes delivery of agreed outcomes within specified timescales. You will have the ability to manage portfolio budgets and ensure the effective use of resources and delivery of savings targets where applicable.

**Working for Camden**

We’re ready to welcome your ideas, your views, and your rebellious spirit. **Help us redefine how we’re supporting people**, and we’ll redefine what a career can be.

If that sounds good to you, we’d love to talk.
