In line with the Government agenda in 'Putting People First' and 'Transforming Social Care', Worcestershire is embarking on a programme of fundamental system-wide change to the way social care services are provided in the county. The change will place people at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on preventative approaches, enablement and early intervention. Increasingly people will shape their own menu of support based on personal budgets, following outcome based assessments.
A key element in successfully achieving the change will be ensuring that we successfully specify and procure the core services we need, with an emphasis on developing creative and innovative outcome focussed approaches.
Following the promotion of the current postholder, our Strategic Commissioning Team has a vacancy for a Contracts Officer to help with this challenging agenda. The person appointed will have responsibility for contracting and procurement arrangements for a wide range of community based services including home care, community meals and extra care. Key parts of the role will include developing service specifications, tendering for new services, drafting new contracts and monitoring contracted services. The role will involve working closely with senior purchasing and operational staff in the Council as well as with care providers in the private and voluntary and community sectors.
You will need to have a sound understanding of the current adult social care agenda and should have experience of commissioning, contracting or procurement work. You will also have a clear vision of how contracting, commissioning and procurement can contribute to the major changes we face. It is essential that you have high quality verbal and wriitten communication skills and a flexible, innovative approach. This is a fixed term post of 2 years duration. Secondments from existing WCC staff will be considered, but you must have prior approval from your line manager.
