Improvements to deliver efficiencies across our commissioning processes

You will be required to have experience of Commissioning and Social Care within the fields of Homecare, Reablement, Residential and Nursing care.

About You

You will be organised and efficient, with excellent communication skills, the ability to develop positive, professional relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders, and you will have good attention to detail. An understanding of commissioning is desirable and experience of working in an adult social care setting, using systems such as Liquid Logic and ContrOCC would also be helpful for this role.
