Service Director Children's Commissioning and Performance

Our new Children & Young People’s plan was co-produced with the energetic input of over 6,000 children across Somerset. So when we say that “we have a shared vision that Somerset’s children and young people grow up in a safe, child-friendly county that supports them to be happy, healthy and prepared for adulthood”, we’re confident they agree.

As a new organisation, Somerset Council is wholeheartedly committed to doing things differently, and better – and we’re building a solid reputation for delivery. One good example is our award-winning Homes and Horizons model, designed to provide a stable home for our most complex children and increase their life chances through better educational results and improved mental health and wellbeing. We’ve also implemented a successful and innovative community-based early help model called Connect Somerset which supports the social care reforms agenda.

There’s always more to do, and we’re looking for an experienced, focused commissioning professional to lead a self-improving service that’s set itself the highest standards. Whether your career to date has been in social care or education, you’ll have an extensive and sophisticated knowledge of the commissioning landscape, and the courage and skillset to lead this vital work from the front.
