We are looking for a Commissioning Manager who can promote the business with local authorities, leading to new admissions in their services. 

The Commissioning Manager will be responsible for obtaining, managing, and placing new residents. This will be a fast-paced role with lots of variety, building deep-rooted partnerships with key stakeholders internally and externally with local authorities to identify their needs and position the group’s high-quality services to meet such needs.
