Following the establishment of the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC) on 1st April 2024 and a recent organisational restructure, we are seeking a Corporate Business Support Officer to support our journey as a newly formed organisation.
The NWJCC is a joint committee of the seven health boards in Wales, with a Chair and Lay Members. We support collaborative commissioning across Wales, with around 120 staff based in Mold and Nantgarw/Treforest.
Our mission is to be The Centre of Excellence for Collaborative Commissioning, improving health and care outcomes across Wales. We commission around 220 services, from NHS 111 and ambulance services to specialised rare disease services and mental health, operating a £1.14bn budget.
In this role, you will join a supportive, inclusive team, working with NHS Wales, Welsh Government, and UK provider organisations. We are seeking individuals who reflect our values of respect, trust, collaboration, and excellence—those who put patients and quality at the centre of everything they do.
If you're passionate about improving lives and want to be part of a forward-thinking, ambitious team, we'd love to hear from you.
The post holder will provide strategic, clinical, and operational leadership and management to the Nursing and Quality Directorate by ensuring delivery of quality commissioned services to the Welsh population. The individual will lead and contribute to service strategies, performance, service improvement, and oversight within the NWJCC.
This role will be accountable to the Director of Nursing & Quality Commissioning for their performance and provide expert professional advice to the Director of Nursing in line with the Duty of Quality Act.
Welsh Skills Desirable: This post is advertised as Welsh Desirable. This doesn't mean essential; whilst the candidate doesn't need to have skills in Welsh, we'll consider it an advantage when short-listing and selecting candidates. This isn't fluency, just speaking & listening skills at Level 3 (equivalent to CEFR B2) or above. Level 3 means basic conversations with patients about their everyday health.
