Senior Strategic Planning and Commissioning Officer - Waverley Court - 17060_1793006253

£56.39k - £67.46k per annum
Temporary, Full-time

Senior Strategic Planning and Commissioning Officer - Fixed Term until December 2027
Waverley Court

Salary: £56,392 - £67,457
Hours: 36 per week, 52 weeks

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Strategic Planning and Commissioning Officer to join the Commissioning Team within the fast paced and rewarding area of Children, Education and Communities Directorate.

We are looking for a confident professional who uses their own initiative to identify gaps in services and actively designs the structural interventions required to meet them.

If you are an experienced and dedicated people manager, who is skilled in transparent communication, individual coaching and strength-based delegation, we would like to hear from you. Please get in touch if you are competent in handling risk, managing change, and implementing innovative approaches to contribute to the delivery of the Council priorities.

Trauma informed, relationships and strengths-based standards are at the heart of our practice. The successful candidate will be energetic, agile, creative and kind, able to make the best use of resources to meet the needs of our Education services, Prevention and Wider Achievement, Children's and Justice services. The post holder is crucial to support the key objectives of these services, in partnership with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

The preferred candidate will be required to obtain a level 1 Disclosure Scotland. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We're interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
