About the role
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Commissioner to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Adult Social Care in Hillingdon.
As one of London's largest and most diverse boroughs, we are investing in innovative approaches that promote independence, prevent escalation of need, embrace technology and deliver excellent value for residents and taxpayers.
This is far more than a traditional commissioning role. You will be at the forefront of some of the most exciting developments in Adult Social Care, leading strategic programmes that influence how services are designed, delivered and experienced across the borough.
Responsibilities
As a senior member of the Commissioning Team, you will provide strategic leadership across a broad portfolio of adult social care services.

You will build strong partnerships across health, social care and the wider community, influencing stakeholders at all levels and driving a shared vision for improvement. Your expertise will help shape investment decisions, inform future service models and ensure that commissioned services deliver measurable impact.
The role also offers the opportunity to mentor and support colleagues, helping to develop commissioning capability and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.
Requirements
You will be an experienced commissioner with a strong track record of delivering complex programmes within Adult Social Care, health or a related public sector environment. You will be confident operating strategically while remaining focused on practical delivery and tangible outcomes.
We are looking for someone who combines commercial awareness with a genuine commitment to improving people's lives. You will be skilled at analysing information, identifying opportunities, managing risk and influencing senior stakeholders. Most importantly, you will bring the vision, energy and determination needed to drive meaningful change in a rapidly evolving environment.
