Commissioning - Enhancing Outcomes

We have a rare opportunity for an outstanding leader to join our dedicated Commissioning Team as a Service Manager!

Our Commissioning Service is responsible for developing a strategic approach to commissioning accommodation and community-based support for children, young people and adults in Wiltshire. With a focus on a "whole-life pathway," the service is dedicated to supporting Wiltshire residents continuously throughout their lives.

Main duties of the job

In this role, you will be responsible for the operational management of a specialist service, overseeing day-to-day performance in collaboration with the relevant Head of Service. As a subject matter expert, you will lead the identification, development, and implementation of effective commissioning strategies aimed at enhancing service delivery.

You will ensure that Team Managers are delivering front-line services efficiently and effectively, maintaining high standards of performance across their teams. Additionally, you will develop and implement co-production initiatives and other collaborative efforts with partners, such as health services, to achieve the highest levels of public satisfaction.

Our ideal candidate will hold a degree in a relevant subject or possess extensive experience in evidence-based commissioning and staff management. Significant expertise in Adults Commissioning, including working with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and other regulatory bodies alongside a deep understanding of relevant legislation, such as the Care Act will be essential. The successful candidate will be expected to lead strategically within a politically diverse organisation, navigating the complex and often competing demands of public service delivery with confidence and clarity.
