Full job description

About us

We are looking for a new Contract and Commissioning Officer to join our experienced and supportive all age Contract and Commissioning Team in Adult Social Care. This is a full-time permanent post, and you will work in a hybrid way, with a minimum of 2 days in the office at Times Square, Warrington and site visits to care homes. You will be part of a team of three Contracts and Commissioning Officers reporting to the Older People’s Contracts and Commissioning Team Manager.

The role

We invest over £130m each year in care and support services for adults across Warrington. The successful post holder will lead on the residential and nursing contract portfolio of Older People commissioned services. The post holder will undertake a range of activities as part of the commissioning cycle, from population needs assessments, service development, market shaping, procurement and contract management activities such as compliance visits, engagement with stakeholders and monitoring contract requirements. You will also be required to lead on or contribute to other development projects and opportunities to improve outcomes for individuals and quality of services. You will need to have strong project management skills and excellent interpersonal skills.

What's needed?

As an individual you will need the right values, excellent communication skills and an ability to break down complex issues and processes into manageable and deliverable activity. You will need to be confident enough to set clear expectations for a range of colleagues and partners, whilst maintaining a supportive approach. Our future success will be dependent on working collaboratively and co-producing new responses to local challenges. We expect all our work to be informed by the voices of those that use our services. There is a requirement to travel to care providers and partners as part of the role.

You will need to be able to establish and grow positive relationships with partners inside and outside the Council including our care home providers; this means you will be involved in managing market pressures and capacity, working routinely with providers and partner agencies. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of Local Government and preferably within a social care setting, plus knowledge of contract and commissioning.

Benefits

As well as a competitive salary, working for us means you get:

26 days annual holiday - raising to 31 after 5 years of service (pro-rata)
Access to our attractive and competitive benefits package
Access to our Health & Wellbeing Programme
Flexible working

Key Dates & Further Information

If you are interested in the role, please get in touch with Carol Dove, Contract and Commissioning Team Manager for an informal discussion – [email protected]

Short-listing will take place on the week commencing 29th June 2026 and interviews will be held 8th July 2026, with the successful candidate to start as soon as possible.

If you are applying for the role, please ensure that you describe how your knowledge, skills and experience meets the essential criteria for the role as detailed in the person specification. This information will be used to short-list applicants for interview.

The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
