About Us

These roles focus on working in partnership with the community to identify outcomes and then to work with third parties and the community itself to design and commission services to best meet the needs of the communities in Sutton. These roles are accountable for the outcomes, but jointly with partners and often with limited direct operational control. In order to achieve outcomes, these roles are required to work collaboratively with others, the most common example being commissioning staff that will monitor local partner activity in order to ensure the delivery of high quality results.

At the lower levels, these roles undertake specific commissioning for discrete services. At the higher level, these roles set commissioning outcomes across a broad range of thematic services., We pride ourselves on being a diverse, inclusive and welcoming Borough and we aim to create a workforce which reflects the community we serve - the key highlights from our recent Equalities Workforce Report can be seen here. We are respectful of difference and realise the positive value of diversity in our workforce. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates and disabled candidates, as these groups are currently under-represented in our workforce. As part of our Disability Confident Committed status, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum/essential criteria for the role.

We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, and inclusive staff networks who help drive our diversity agenda.

The UK has introduced a new points-based immigration system affecting EU and Non-EU workers and sponsorship requirements. We advise checking the GOV.UK website for right to work guidance.
