We’re looking for a Commissioning Manager to lead on developing trauma informed practice through our commissioning processes.

This role will help enable the delivery of these commitments, supporting change within the organisation and with partners.
Key aspects of this role will be:

- Work with stakeholders to develop and test this through the commissioning cycle

- Support awareness raising and understanding of trauma as part of market development activities
- Identify and disseminate examples of good practice across the City
- Undertake a local area workforce development needs analysis
This role will require extensive partner engagement as we work collaboratively with a wide range of organisations from across the BNSSG footprint to develop our work on trauma informed practice. Key Stakeholders you will be working with:
- Commissioning teams across the Council
- Procurement
- Public Health
- People with lived experience
- Community and VCSE organisations
- Healthier Together
- Commissioned Providers
You will have a good understanding of adversity and trauma as well as the commissioning process and relevant legislation and regulatory frameworks.
