About the Role
We are looking for someone who is passionate about commissioning to support a range of integrated commissioning work programmes which could span Older People, Learning Disabilities, Mental Health and Public Health. This is a varied and rewarding role within a very friendly and experienced team where collaboration and support are highly valued. You will be joining us on the back our of recent ‘good’ CQC inspection and supporting us to continue our journey of providing high quality services to the people of Lambeth.
As priorities evolve, you will need to be adaptable and open to working flexibly across different areas to support the needs of the wider team and organisation.
You will act as a key point of contact and liaison for a wide range of stakeholders, both internally and externally, so excellent communication and relationship-building skills are essential. You do not need to come with direct experience of commissioning or health and care services, although this would be beneficial. We are keen to hear from people with strong transferable skills, including project management, data management, stakeholder engagement and effective communication.
We are particularly looking for someone who is organised, motivated and ready to ‘crack on’. A positive and proactive approach, alongside the ability to work efficiently within a fast-paced and financially challenging environment, will help you succeed in this role.
In return, you will have the opportunity to work alongside passionate colleagues and partners who are committed to improving outcomes and delivering high-quality services across health and care.
