Assistant Commissioner

Summary

Our Commissioning teams deliver a wide range of services to residents with varying levels and types of needs, including educational, physical, and mental health.

As an Assistant Commissioner in the Families' and Children's Team, you will work closely with and directly support our operational teams and providers and contribute to the oversight of the care market. Most importantly you will be helping to improve the lives of some of our most vulnerable families and children.

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.

- 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 offer to you**
- 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising to 31 after 5 years’ service, as well as the option to purchase an additional 20 days.
- The opportunity for you to build upon our excellent existing partnerships throughout Wiltshire in a truly supportive environment.
- You will be equipped with the required modern technology so that you can work flexibly from a variety of locations, including your home. We support a flexible approach to achieving a better work/life balance.
- The opportunity to work for a forward-thinking council with a strong focus on staff engagement.
- We offer an attractive rewards package with an excellent range of discounted products and services with national and local retailers via our Wiltshire Rewards scheme.

**About you**

We need people who have a passion for improving performance and outcomes in the social care and support services area. 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 Commissioners, as well as a Senior Commissioners, in what is a fast-paced role, therefore requiring you to be agile, a great communicator, and able to lead on multiple projects.
