The Role

Principally, your role will see you manage the Operations and Partnership teams in Ipswich and East Suffolk area; managing teams made up of social work services, occupational therapy, reablement services and adult mental health.

The area of your work will be aligned to the clinical commissioning group footprint and you, along with the Senior Management team, will be responsible for the operational service delivery within it; working with local contract and service development teams and managers to understand, develop, and co-design practice that will inform future commissioning models and new ways of working.
