Director of Commissioning and Integration
East Riding of Yorkshire Council
£106,305 - £116,305
East Riding of Yorkshire offers an exceptional quality of life alongside a strong sense of community. From its stunning coastline and rolling countryside to its historic market towns and thriving rural communities, the area combines natural beauty with opportunity. The Council is reshaping how it works, with a new operating model, a refreshed senior leadership structure and a Chief Executive who is investing in modernising the organisation.
Adult social care in the East Riding is on a significant journey. We have been honest about the challenges we face in terms of our recent CQC rating and the improvements we have made and still need to make at pace. With that honesty comes a renewed sense of purpose, energy and clarity. Our ambition is high, our political support is strong, and we can shape a modern, sustainable and genuinely people-centred adult social care system. This role sits right at the heart of our improvement.
THE ROLE
Working directly with the Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Health, you will lead the strategic commissioning of adult social care, health and wellbeing services across the East Riding. You will shape how services are planned, commissioned and delivered, bringing together partners across local government, the NHS, the voluntary sector and independent providers to improve outcomes for residents and communities.
This is a role with significant influence and reach. You will lead market shaping and commissioning activity across a broad portfolio, oversee major contracts and pooled budgets, and strengthen integration with partners across the Humber and North Yorkshire system. Equally important will be your ability to drive innovation, use data and population intelligence to inform decision-making, and ensure our services remain sustainable, preventative and focused on what matters most to local people.
We are looking for a strategic leader who can operate confidently across organisational boundaries, building trusted relationships with elected members, NHS partners, providers and communities. You will bring substantial experience of commissioning, transformation and partnership working within complex public service environments, together with a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing adult social care and health today.
Most importantly, you will share our commitment to improving lives. You will understand that effective commissioning is about far more than procurement and contracts. It is about shaping places, reducing inequalities, promoting independence and ensuring residents can access high-quality support that enables them to live healthy, fulfilling and independent lives.
