Contract Type
Full time
ECC Adult Social Care, through effective practice, is moving towards a transformational shift from a focus on long-term care support, to a model with four key principles: prevention; early intervention; enablement and safeguarding. This will enable people, their families and carers to access information and tools to live healthily and independently. It will also enable Adult Social Care to respond pro-actively to growing service demand in a sustainable way, within the financial constraints of the Council.

The Commissioning Insight Officer will provide timely intelligence on the social care market, enabling commissioners to understand the position of the market and emerging trends. It will draw together insight to help with approaches to Market Shaping; exploring ways in which we can work with the market to develop more personalised solutions and ensuring sustainability of the market.

The role will inform commissioning and decommissioning decisions and requires intelligence from the gathering and analysis of a very broad range of data and evidence, including performance of current providers, changes to the external market, demographic growth and population change, qualitative feedback from workforce, customers and service users and the development of an evidence-based approach to measuring service delivery.

The role will ensure that Commissioners are able to commission, based on clear evidence and analysis of need, demand and best value and that performance of commissioned services and place shaping activities can be evaluated in the delivery of our outcomes.
