It’s where we call home and where we’re proud to belong - where we choose to bring up our families, where we feel safe and cared for, enjoying good health, rewarding work, feeling connected and valued in our neighbourhoods and communities, confident in the future, and benefiting fully from a revitalised West Midlands.

Sandwell Councils Adult Social Care Commissioning Team are looking to recruit to the post of Commissioning Team Manager for Prevention, Early Intervention & Community Based Support which will contribute to achieving the Health and Social Care elements of the Councils vision.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding the importance of preventative services and will be responsible for shaping local markets across a number of sectors including the Voluntary and Community Sector.

As a team Manager you will join a committed and talented leadership team, you’ll be an inspirational mentor for our commissioners where you will set standards and expectations, and you will support them to support our providers to achieve positive outcomes for Sandwell residents and contribute to meeting the Councils 2030 vision.

You will also have a strong knowledge of the latest policy and guidance surrounding health and adult social care and clear understanding of safeguarding for both Adults and Children & Young People.
You will need to demonstrate excellent organisational skills, be an excellent all-round communicator and have a head for complexity and accuracy.

Given the way we are now working, you will have developed skills in remote working, this will include communicating with colleagues and providers using video conferencing. The post will mainly be working from home but you will be expected to attend regular physical team meetings as our recovery from COVID19 continues and you will also be expected to have face to face meetings with providers where appropriate.

Sandwell Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults and children and expects all staff to share this commitment therefore a DBS is required for this post.
