Commissioning Officer
In Children’s Services, we are strengthening our approach for providing education for pupils outside of the registered school/college system within the unregulated Alternative Provision sector.
We are seeking a skilled and experienced individual who will coordinate and support our arrangements for the procurement and commissioning of alternative education for both children of school age and post 16.
In this pivotal role, you will have responsibility for supporting those who are developing and delivering strong commissioning and governance processes with providers of unregulated Alternative Provision, principally from the private and commercial market. These include providers of remote or e-learning, 1:1 or small group tutoring services, private examination candidacy, vocational and therapeutic education packages.
You will work closely with other commissioners within Children’s Services, as well as Operational Teams and Sufficiency colleagues in ensuring that those arrangements ensure strong governance and oversight of the unregulated market, achieve best value for money, improve outcomes for children and young people and ensure sufficiency of supply against profiled need.
You will be crucial in supporting the Service Manager in ensuring that Norfolk’s arrangements for commissioning of alternative provision meet regulatory requirements, statutory guidance and expectations set out in the Area Ofsted and CQC SEND and AP Inspection framework.
