The role
The Integrated Commissioning Division are looking to recruit a Head of Service to lead high-quality commissioning across the full range of our Public Health services.
This is an exciting leadership role, where you can make your mark managing and developing a newly established team designed to tackle inequalities and improve outcomes.
The post-holder will lead by example in supporting and inspiring your team to be visible, evidence-based, relational, and high quality commissioners – and will be well-supported in turn by collaborative and supportive senior leaders.
You will have a significant role in building strategic partnerships and collaboration across the council, the wider Partnership Southwark system, and in strengthening collaboration with regional Public Health commissioners.
This will be a dynamic and rewarding role, where no two days are the same and which has huge opportunity to make a difference for Southwark residents.
We are looking for an experienced and committed commissioning leader, who is innovative, energetic, and ambitious for our residents, staff, and services.
You will be politically adept, a skilled communicator, and will have a strong track record of delivery in a political organisation.
You will have a strong knowledge of the legislative and policy context, be comfortable navigating complexity, and supporting others to effect positive change.
The Head of Public Health Commissioning will report to the Assistant Director for Integrated Commissioning, will work closely with the relevant Assistant Directors of Public Health, and will be a member of the Public Health Divisional Management Team and the Integrated Commissioning senior management team.
