This will include working at a senior level in the Integrated Care System to influence local commissioning activity wile and developing innovative and personalised approaches to joint commissioning across partner organisations that enable joined-up, flexible and person-centred care needed by people experiencing SMD. This will require cross-system working as well as expertise in commissioning, to push forward the innovations we want to develop and implement.

The Senior System Change Commissioning Manager with responsibility for Changing Futures will work across the system to influence the way in which services are commissioned to meet the neds of people who experience SMD. The post holder will test and influence ways of commissioning that move past traditional provider / commissioner splits, and in line with best practice, enable co-production and iterative learning to drive sustained service transformation, promoting collective ownership from agencies for the outcomes of people experiencing SMD.

People with lived experience of SMD are central to Nottingham City’s Changing Futures programme. It is therefore important that your values reflect what people with lived experience of SMD want from to see form those working in the programme:

You need to be non-judgemental and understand the power and importance of kindness and showing respect in order to receive it. You need to be able to put yourself in the shoes of the people that the Changing Futures programme will be supporting and be committed to seeing the person and not the label.

You also need to be committed to challenging inequality, understanding that inequality and experience of discrimination can have a big impact on a person’s life and on how they engage with services and the support available. You need to be willing to listen in order to really hear and understand people’s experiences, their views and ideas. You also need to have a real desire and willingness to learn and grow, with a commitment to your own personal development.

Overall, we are looking for someone that is clearly passionate about improving the lives of people that face severe and multiple disadvantage and who can use that passion to bring about change.
