Dorchester DT XJ, United Kingdom Dorset Council Full time £45,000 - £55,000 per year

If you have experience of contract management we want to hear from you

What you'll be doing

Initially, you will be responsible for contract managing the Community Health Improvement Services contract (CHIS find out more here).

You will join a team of Health Programme Advisers (HPAs) who provide public health advice, support, and lead work across key agendas; directed and supported by senior colleagues. The team has a diverse range of skills and experience and not everyone had a background or training in public health when they joined us.

Your key tasks will include:

  • Building and managing relationships with our providers (e.g. GP Surgeries, Pharmacies) including providing constructive challenge where necessary and supporting the delivery of agreed outcomes.
  • Understand complex data insights and address these findings with colleagues and providers
  • Working with colleagues in the public health team at Dorset and BCP Councils to review our internal processes for managing the CHIS contract and be supported to design and implement new ways of working.

About you

We are seeking applications from individuals who:

  • Have experience of managing contracts, commercial negotiating and handling challenging situations
  • Have strong skills in working with a wide range of providers, partners and stakeholders
  • Can communicate with different audiences, and write and deliver reports, business documents and presentations
  • Enjoy working with, developing, and implementing clear processes for your project areas, for example, effective influencing, negotiation and coordination of activity reporting.
  • Enjoy collaborating with others but can work on their own initiative

Please note: you will need to spend a minimum of 1 day a week in our office in Dorchester and have a valid UK driver's license. Occasional visits to providers/partners in locations across Dorset will be required.

Public Health at Dorset Council is a great place to work. We are a small team within the Public Health and Prevention Directorate, passionate about making a difference to population health across Dorset. Our workplace is friendly, and we support one another. Public health work is challenging and sometimes difficult, often involving complex systems; but, by working with partners, we're doing some great work and we want to do more.

We work closely with our colleagues in the Public Health team at BCP Council and at Livewell Dorset. Our main office is in Dorchester, but we have flexible working arrangements and meet and collaborate both in person and digitally.

Please contact Rupert Lloyd, Senior Health Programme Adviser, for any extra information about this role

Anticipated interview date: Wednesday 14th January
