The successful candidate will collaborate with the Integrated Team Manager to provide business support across the commissioning, contracting, and brokerage functions of the team.

We seek an enthusiastic and motivated individual who is committed to high standards and achieving positive outcomes. A strong understanding of legislation and the ability to build constructive relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including CYC staff, ICB partners, non-NHS organizations, and the public, is essential.

Excellent communication skills, familiarity with performance management, and experience in strengths-based practices are required.

York offers a rich culture and numerous opportunities for both living and working.

This role is suitable as a job share opportunity.

As this role is public facing, applicants will need to demonstrate, at interview, their competency to converse and provide advice and guidance to members of the public, in spoken English to CEFR level C1: Can express themselves fluently and spontaneously, almost effortlessly.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

City of York Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
