Adult Social Care relies on strong partnerships with care providers to ensure residents receive the services and support they need. Our Commissioning Team plays a key role in developing, managing and improving those relationships, helping to ensure high-quality care services are available across West Northamptonshire.

As our Commissioning and Performance Administrator, you'll be at the heart of this work. Supporting both Commissioning teams, you'll help keep provider engagement activities, communications, contracts and performance processes running smoothly, enabling the team to focus on service development and delivering positive outcomes for residents.

This is a varied role that offers far more than traditional administration. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with providers, partners and colleagues across Adult Social Care, becoming involved in activities that directly support the planning, delivery and continuous improvement of services.

You'll join a supportive and knowledgeable team that values collaboration, initiative and continuous improvement. In return, you'll be trusted to take ownership of key processes, contribute ideas and play an important role in helping the team work effectively and efficiently.

Interviews will be held in the weeks commencing 17th and 24 August.

This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore subject to an enhanced DBS certificate. It is also a regulated activity and will be subject to a Children and Adults Barred List check. West Northamptonshire Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
