Commissioning Officer

Permanent contract | 37 hours per week | £27,344 to £29,439 per annum (Scale G) | Norwich

Children and Young People in Norfolk with specialist or complex needs often need additional support. This support can be delivered in-house by different internal teams or it can be sourced externally. Either way, we want to ensure that children and young people get the best support possible, achieve the best outcomes and get the best value out of public money.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Integrated Commissioning Team in Children’s Services to support Specialist & Complex commissioning.

Your role will be to assist the team in monitoring and evaluating commissioned services for quality and effectiveness. Day to day you will support a variety of projects, manage discreet pieces of work, maintain project plans, and collect and analyse data for commissioning and partnership work. You will also engage in regular stakeholder events and liaise with providers.

You will have an eye for detail and do your research and you’ll be good at developing and managing relationships (which is what commissioning is about).
