This is an exciting time to join the STEPUP team.
We are looking for a self-starting, dynamic and delivery focused contract management/supply chain development/management professional. The post holder will be responsible for managing partnership contracts and ensuring successful delivery to time and to budget. This will include supporting new VCSpartners to understand and deliver to central government requirements and will also take the lead in working with partners to identify and develop peer networks which support an increase in residents moving into and sustaining employment. This might be either directly by bringing residents with lived experience together or by bringing professionals together to share best practice and develop new joint working methods.
The role will be a fundamental part of delivering the Council’s response to the Get Britain Working White Paper, with a particular focus on two specific Trailblazer projects in the first instance. The role will support the operational delivery of the wider Employment and Skills agenda through matrix working with colleagues and other key functional areas.
Given the length of contract and speed of development in this area, it will be essential that applicants have significant experience in employment and health environments with a knowledge of DWP contracting requirements.
