This is an excellent opportunity to take a role with our Local Authority client in East London working as Senior Commissioner.
The role sits within an new integrated commissioning team and you will lead commissioning activities for Learning Disabilities projects. Building on your strong knowledge of this area and your previous Local Authority commissioning experience you will play a crucial role in ensuring effective analysis, design, co-production, procurement, management, and evaluation of services across the portfolio.
Working in an integrated team will require you to have good stakeholder engagement skills and you will take a lead role in planning and managing the engagement process to ensure that strategies and services are developed with service users, carers, colleagues, Councillors and other partners. This will include leading our client’s Learning Disabilities Partnership Forum. You can expect to be working on a multi project portfolio so you will need to be able to prioritise and manage a busy workload whilst ensuring the priorities and ambitions of the department are realised.
This is a challenging role and as such we require someone with a proven track record, a strong will to succeed and the ability to confidently lead and guide others. It is essential that you can demonstrate previous experience undertaking evaluation of projects including quality, needs assessment, effectiveness, service user satisfaction, value for money and financial viability.
The role will initially run until the end of December but is fully expected to extend to the end of March. The day rate is £502.12/day (inside IR35).
We expect a high volume of applicants so please only apply if you have solid experience commissioning within learning disabilities within a Local Authority. Full JD available on request.
