We are looking to recruit two Permanent Monitoring Officers into the Brokerage team to work closely with Adult Social Care and Home Care/Care Home Providers to procure a variety of care services.

The role will involve the quality assurance of care plans, the brokering of this care with a variety of providers, and the procurement of these services for payment.

You’ll be confident working and engaging with external service providers along with colleagues from a number of adult social care areas.

In this role you will work closely with the adult social care team, finance and commissioning teams as well as colleagues in Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.

The successful applicants will need to be excellent team players and be able to communicate effectively with providers and internal colleagues using written, face to face and telephone methods.

Attention to detail is key, and a good knowledge and experience of working with MS Office applications would be beneficial.

If you are ambitious, engaging, resilient, and adaptable, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, this is an ideal opportunity for you to join our team.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Guaranteed Interview scheme, applicants who are disabled, care leavers, or armed forces veterans will be guaranteed an interview if they meet the essential criteria and indicate their eligibility on the application form. Sometimes, if lots of people apply, we might not be able to interview everyone who qualifies for the Guarantee. In these cases, we’ll interview the candidates who best meet the essential criteria for the job.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.

If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.

Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026. Find out more on our Sheff news page.
