This is an exciting opportunity to join our compassionate, inclusive, and values-driven organisation during a significant period of change as we continue our transition to integrated commissioning across the Local Authority (CYC) and the Integrated Care Board (ICB).

We are seeking a motivated individual with substantial NHS or Local Authority commissioning experience. As a member of the Integrated Commissioning Team, you will collaborate with the Team Manager and ICB partners to provide technical commissioning advice, ensuring effective communication and implementation across organizations, while developing systems and processes for robust commissioning and reporting.

This role also involves collaborating with various directorates to ensure that the Commissioning Cycle is effectively embedded throughout the organisation. A strong understanding of legislation, excellent communication skills, and experience in performance management and team evaluation are essential.

You will represent health and social care commissioning, navigating organisational boundaries to align with national and local priorities. In partnership with contract managers, you will oversee the commissioning and contracting of services, ensuring that contracts meet the ICB and CYC core priorities.

York is a wonderful place to live and work, known for its rich culture and opportunities.

If you are an enthusiastic and motivated individual committed to high standards and positive outcomes, we would love to hear from you.

Applicants must demonstrate their ability to converse in spoken English at CEFR level C1 during the interview.

This vacancy is available as a secondment opportunity. Candidates must seek permission of their current line manager before applying for a secondment opportunity.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

Please note, we do not have a sponsorship licence to sponsor individuals for visas to work in the UK, therefore we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

City of York Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
