As Assistant Director, Commissioning, Partnerships and Provision, you will lead the development and delivery of a sustainable, responsive and diverse care market, ensuring the right services are in place to meet the needs of children, adults and families both now and in the future.
With a strong focus on market development and provider management, you will work closely with partners across the health and care system to influence, enable and strengthen provision across the independent, voluntary and community sectors. You will also lead the council’s in‑house provider services, ensuring they are high‑performing, compliant, and delivering excellent outcomes for residents.
The role has elements of housing and will involve working across internal and external partnerships and does not include procurement. Operating at system level, you will drive a more integrated, community‑led approach to care, promoting early intervention, prevention and independence.
Central to the role is a commitment to co‑production, ensuring the voice and lived experience of residents shape how services are designed, commissioned and delivered. This is a highly visible and impactful position, requiring strong leadership, commercial acumen and the ability to deliver meaningful change in a complex and financially challenging environment.
You will play a key role in ensuring services are not only effective and sustainable, but also person‑centred, innovative and focused on improving outcomes for the most vulnerable in our communities.
