  • Maximize the impact of funding streams such as BCF, Public Health Grant, and Disabled Facilities Grant.
  • Align investment decisions to prevent duplication and ensure value for money.

Requirements

  • Significant experience in strategic commissioning within Adult Social Care.
  • Proven experience in partnership working with the VCSE sector.
  • Experience in leading strategy development and system-wide transformation programs.
  • Strong understanding of prevention, early intervention, and carers agendas.
  • Experience in budget management and aligning funding to outcomes.
  • Track record of stakeholder engagement across complex systems, including local authority, NHS, and community partners.
