Join Our Team as a Commissioning & Market Development Manager!
Are you ready to make a real difference in Devon?
We’re on a mission to make Devon the best place to grow up, live well, and prosper. We believe in listening, learning, improving, and being curious and inclusive. Our ambition is to transform the way we lead and work to improve outcomes for the people of Devon.
Our Vision: Imagine a Devon where everyone can live in a place they call home, surrounded by the people and things they love, in communities that support one another. That’s the future we’re working towards, and we need you to help us get there!
About the Role: As the Commissioning & Market Development Manager, you’ll be at the heart of our Adult Social Care function, responsible for commissioning £300 million worth of care services. You’ll work with around 1,200 external providers from the private, independent, and voluntary sectors. With future demographic and budget pressures, we need innovative thinking and new solutions.
You’ll be working within the Care with Accommodation portfolio, focusing on care homes and collaborating with the market to drive transformation and change.
Your key responsibilities will include:
* Leading the Council’s transformation plan to improve care and support for adults with disabilities and older people, especially in market management and strategic commissioning.
* Partnering with key stakeholders (including the NHS, District Councils, and the voluntary and community sector) to achieve our vision for joint commissioning.
* Maximizing resources and managing risks to ensure successful delivery of change.
* Managing a diverse team within the wider Commissioning team.
Why This Role Matters: In this role, you’ll enable Devon County Council and its partners to make informed decisions for social care, health, and housing. Your work will ensure quality, safety, impact, value, and change, all within a challenging financial context.
You’ll align with national and local directions, informed by local needs.
What We’re Looking For:
* A thorough understanding of commissioning and contracting mechanisms.
* A sound knowledge of business models in the independent sector.
* The ability to work closely with and advise Elected Members.
* Experience involving providers, service users, and carers.
Be Part of Our Leadership Team: You’ll be integral to the Integrated Adult Social Care Leadership Team, interfacing with key strategic stakeholders, including NHS partners, independent sector provider organizations, and the voluntary and community sector.
Ready to Make an Impact? If you’re passionate about transforming lives and communities, we want to hear from you!
