Join to apply for the Assistant Director role at ERA Blavier
Suffolk County Council are looking to recruit an Assistant Director, Integrated Commissioning and Contracts to join our team based in Ipswich, Suffolk. You will join us on a full-time, permanent basis working 37 hours per week, flexible working options available. The successful candidate will earn a competitive salary of £85,289 - £102,448 per annum (pro rata for part time).
About Us
As a modern, flexible and effective organisation, we're driven to make a positive difference to the environment, the communities we serve and the careers of our people. That's why, when you join us, you'll be encouraged to share your fresh thinking and empowered to explore new ideas that will shape and improve our services as well as your career.
In Suffolk adult social care, we have recently agreed a new strategic approach looking to use innovation and technology to support independence, sustainability and high-quality care. We know we want to do more to include people who use of services, the people who support them and our front-line staff in the design of services that will be more personalised and better meet need.
We want to increasingly “think system” and we need people who are able to work across the health and social care system in Suffolk. We are building new approaches to integrated commissioning with the NHS integrated care board and working with our NHS provider organisations to deliver joined up care solutions. Our voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) and independent care sector providers are central to the future model of care required.
The role
Reporting to the Executive Director of Adult Social Care (DASS), you will be at the heart of this transformation, working to develop options in the market and commission services that support independence and tailored, outcome-based support.
It is envisaged that the role will change and develop as we look to adopt a more integrated commissioning approach between adult social care, children and young people services, public health, and the Integrated Care Board's (ICB) requirement for care and support services / prevention.
You will lead a team that manages and develops our local care providers and builds a strong culture of promoting high quality, efficient, innovative and value for money services through effective design, commissioning, and contract management. You will lead that role for Adult Social Care, and where appropriate the ICB, both in the teams you manage and in the local areas with delegated commissioning and contract management responsibilities.
About You
This exciting role calls for someone willing to embrace creative and innovative solutions, someone prepared to take risks and a leader who can enable transformation across a wide range of commissioners and most crucially independent care providers.
You will have a clear commitment to co-production and engagement and to enabling highly personalised services for people in Suffolk.
You will also have experience across adult social care, commissioning, and contract management; an in-depth understanding of the health and social care landscape and exceptional relationship-building skills will be required for success.
Travel And Workplace Requirements
We positively encourage the use of technology to communicate, but on occasions, there may be a requirement for you to travel to locations away from your contractual base, using reasonable and suitable means available to you. If you require a reasonable adjustment due to a disability to meet the travel requirements of this role, please speak with the contact detailed below.
This role supports hybrid working, with an expectation to work from the office for three days each week. Please speak with the contact detailed below?if you wish to discuss how that might impact your working arrangements.?
Closing date: 11.30pm, 29 July 2025.
Assessment centre: 20 August 2025.
If you think you have what it takes to be successful in this Shared Ownership Officer ?????role, even if you don't meet all the requirements, please apply. We would appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.
This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. DBS checks or police vetting will be required for relevant posts.
