In the integrated commissioning team we plan, purchase and monitor high quality services to be delivered by the wider Adults and Health team.
We commission health and social care services that address health and social inequality and support people to live healthy, independent and fulfilling lives. We create integrated systems that provide a clear pathway to support and care for older people, adults with physical and learning disabilities, people with substance misuse issues and those in housing need.
Our overarching goals are to design services that meet local needs, are fair and accessible to all who need them and deliver good value for money. We are always reviewing what we do, driving continuous service improvement through consistent contract, quality and performance management.
Roles in our team include:
- Commissioning Manager: oversees the commissioning process, including managing service reviews, developments and innovations to maximise outcomes, ensure value for money and service improvement
- Commissioning Officer: supports the commissioning managers to achieve continuous service improvement through consistent contract, quality and performance management of a portfolio of providers or services
- Commissioning Support Officer: involved in engagement and communication with stakeholders, commissioning work and supporting the gathering, analysis, and reporting of commissioning data
Our colleagues say:
Liz, Commissioning Manager, Third Sector and Extra Care Housing
“In commissioning we’re united in our drive to provide real, tangible health outcomes for all our citizens. We take a collaborative approach to partnership working whilst considering the needs and wants of all our communities. I’m proud to work in such an ambitious and determined team, with a passion for tackling health inequalities and advancing equality, diversity and inclusion.”
Marcus, Commissioning Manager, Older People’s Commissioning
“Very few days are the same; I could be writing reports, designing service specifications, meeting service users and other stakeholders or analysing data to try and improve our commissioned services. This variety and problem solving made me keen to stay on after the graduate scheme and continue to work for an organisation that makes such an impact in the day-to-day lives of people in Leeds.”
