Coventry City Council’s Library and Information Service is a public facing service operating for the benefit of local communities and the&nbsp;wider city.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Providing services from&nbsp;the central&nbsp;library and 16 local&nbsp;libraries (3 of which are community led) Coventry libraries provide a unique 'cradle-to-grave' service bringing individuals and communities together.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Public&nbsp;libraries acquire, organise and provide access to a range of information and reading resources to meet the diverse needs of a community.&nbsp;&nbsp;We actively support independent learning and encourage reader development, also providing&nbsp;information on areas such as:

<ul>
	<li>Local and national government services,&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Learning opportunities,&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Leisure activities,&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Local community news and events&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

We&nbsp;also&nbsp;play an important role in providing access to computers and the internet for those who are digitally excluded.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The Library Service works in partnership with local, regional and national organisations to provide a full and wide-ranging service offer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Partners include:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Arts Council England&nbsp;</li>
	<li>BBC&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Department for Culture, Media and Sport&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Libraries Connected&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Public Health England,&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Reading Agency&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Libraries are uniquely placed to change lives for the better. They are busy and vibrant open spaces, not only providing access to books but also helping people to help themselves and improve their opportunities. By providing practical support and guidance, libraries play a critical role in enabling and empowering people to realise their potential, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The role&nbsp;
Reporting to the Executive Director of Adult Social Care (DASS), you will be at the heart of this transformation, working to develop options in the market and commission services that support independence and tailored, outcome-based support.&nbsp;
It is envisaged that the role will change and develop as we look to adopt a more integrated commissioning approach between adult social care, children and young people services, public health, and the Integrated Care Board’s (ICB) requirement for care and support services / prevention.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You will lead a team that manages and develops our local care providers and builds a strong culture of promoting high quality, efficient, innovative and value for money services through effective design, commissioning, and contract management. You will lead that role for Adult Social Care, and where appropriate the ICB, both in the teams you manage and in the local areas with delegated commissioning and contract management responsibilities.&nbsp;
About us&nbsp;
As a modern, flexible and effective organisation, we’re driven to make a positive difference to the environment, the communities we serve and the careers of our people. That’s why, when you join us, you’ll be encouraged to share your fresh thinking and empowered to explore new ideas that will shape and improve our services as well as your career.&nbsp;
In Suffolk adult social care, we have recently agreed a new strategic approach looking to use innovation and technology to support independence, sustainability and high-quality care. We know we want to do more to include people who use of services, the people who support them and our front-line staff in the design of services that will be more personalised and better meet need.&nbsp;
We want to increasingly “think system” and we need people who are able to work across the health and social care system in Suffolk. We are building new approaches to integrated commissioning with the NHS integrated care board and working with our NHS provider organisations to deliver joined up care solutions. Our voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) and independent care sector providers are central to the future model of care required.&nbsp;&nbsp;
About you&nbsp;
This exciting role calls for someone willing to embrace creative and innovative solutions, someone prepared to take risks and a leader who can enable transformation across a wide range of commissioners and most crucially independent care providers.&nbsp;
You will have a clear commitment to co-production and engagement and to enabling highly personalised services for people in Suffolk.&nbsp;
You will also have experience across adult social care, commissioning, and contract management; an in-depth understanding of the health and social care landscape and exceptional relationship-building skills will be required for success.&nbsp;

Even if you don't meet all requirements, still apply. We would appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.&nbsp;
Travel and workplace requirements&nbsp;
We positively encourage the use of technology to communicate, but on occasions, there may be a requirement for you to travel to locations away from your contractual base, using reasonable and suitable means available to you. If you require a reasonable adjustment due to a disability to meet the travel requirements of this role, please speak with the contact detailed below.&nbsp;
This role supports&nbsp;hybrid working, with an expectation to work from the office for three days each week. Please speak with the contact detailed below if you wish to discuss how that might impact your working arrangements. #LI-Hybrid&nbsp;

Reablement Support Worker

An opportunity has arisen for a motivated individual to join the Sustainable Transport Team. The role of the Road Safety Officer is to design, implement, lead and participate in the delivery of the Council’s Road Safety Education, training and publicity programme in accordance with agreed policies and priorities. Undertake the delivery of road safety education, training, promotional and awareness campaigns utilising a variety of delivery mechanisms including partnership working and digital technology. The individual will also assist with the operation of the School Crossing Patrol service which includes recruitment, training, monitoring, organisation, and supervision of School Crossing Patrols. Candidates should be able to demonstrate qualifications or experience relating to the technical and professional aspects of road safety education, training and publicity, and the liaison with external organisations to facilitate partnership working. Ideally, the candidates should hold certificates relating to formal training in the operation and design of the service area, or a willingness to obtain certification. This full-time role will be able to utilise hybrid working with a mix of working from the office and from home, when not attending educational settings or School Crossing Patrol sites. The office base would be Gun Wharf, Chatham. The successful post holder will be subject to an Enhanced Child DBS check. If you would like to have an informal discussion with the recruiting manager, please call Leanne Adams on 01634 331743.Career Progression Frameworks (CPF) have been introduced for all roles at Medway Council. These frameworks provide a mechanism for employees to take ownership of their development within their post and be rewarded accordingly. This means that the salary you will be offered will be at level A unless, based on an assessment against the CPF criteria, you demonstrate that you are meeting the criteria of level B or C. There will be further opportunity once in post to progress from level A to B, and B to C. When writing your application, it is important to ensure you identify your suitability against the requirements of the job profile, as this information will be used for shortlisting and may contribute to the CPF assessment. Your application may be rejected if the minimum required criteria is not met. Further information relating to the requirements for this role can be found in the CPF Guidance document attached. The person specification of a job profile is split into three levels: Level A details the essential criteria that all applicants must be able to demonstrate through their application and interview. Level B details the developed competencies that an individual who is practised in this role would be able to demonstrate and will be a progression of knowledge, experience and skills from level A. Level C requires the highest level of competence and applicants would need to fully meet and demonstrate all aspects of the job profile, including qualifications, knowledge, skills and experience. Transport and Parking are seeking a Road Safety Officer to join the team at level A.
