Are you looking for that next challenge in your career that will enable you to consistently deliver business as usual contract management across multiple NHS providers whilst helping to develop, design and implement strategic commissioning requirements? Then this is the job for you!
Powys Teaching Health Board (PTHB) has a rare opportunity for the right person with healthcare commissioning experience to join a small, dedicated and proactive commissioning team in providing commissioning and contractual management for the benefit of the Powys population. You will build strong working relationships with other directorates within PTHB and with external contractual and commissioning representatives.

Lead on contract development, monitoring and performance acting as the key point of liaison for a specified portfolio of
contracts (Long Term Agreements).
Operationalise the planning and Integrated Quality and Performance Framework (IQPF) within designated Powys Teaching
Health Board (PTHB) commissioned provider contracts.
Support the management of integrated performance through the implementation of the IQPF from a wider commissioning
perspective and directly via PTHB commissioned provider contracts.
