Derbyshire County Council Public Health is committed to improving employment opportunities for people with disabilities, long-term health conditions and other complex barriers to employment in Derbyshire. We will be delivering the Connect to Work programme, which aims to support people aged 18+ to achieve paid employment using the Supported Employment Quality Framework model.
This work sits within the Wider Determinants of Health team and supports the development and implementation of work linking to the Council’s Public Health strategy.
Responsibilities
- Support the monitoring and auditing of service delivery against the Supporting Employment Quality Framework (SEQF), funder requirements, and internal policies.
- Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant records across service databases and case management systems, ensuring adherence to GDPR and data protection requirements.
- Support the collection, tracking, and reporting of performance data, KPIs, and outcomes to managers and external funders.
- Assist with the coordination of audits, inspections, and quality assurance activity, including preparing documentation and responding to information requests.
- Support referral tracking and allocation processes to ensure timely progression and clear audit trails.
- Ensure the accurate collection, validation, and audit-ready storage of data and evidence required to support financial claims and reporting to funders.
- Produce and maintain spreadsheets, reports, and documentation to support service monitoring and operational oversight.
- Liaise with internal teams and external partners to support effective information sharing and compliance with agreed protocols.
The successful candidate will:
- Have experience working in an administrative, compliance, or quality assurance role within a health, social care, or employment support environment.
- Demonstrate a good understanding of data protection, safeguarding, and compliance requirements within public-facing services.
- Be confident using CRM or management information systems to record, monitor, and report service activity accurately.
- Possess strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
- Have effective written and verbal communication skills, enabling them to work collaboratively with colleagues and external stakeholders.
- Demonstrate a strong level of IT literacy, including proficient use of Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, and Outlook, alongside the ability to maintain shared digital filing systems.
- Be able to work independently with appropriate supervision, while contributing positively as part of a wider team.
The post holder will be expected to work from home and travel when needed to meetings and other events. Some travel across other areas of Derbyshire may also be required from time to time.

Fixed‑Term Contract Information
These are fixed‑term posts funded specifically to deliver the Connect to Work programme. Appointments will be made on a fixed‑term basis for up to four years, aligned to the duration of the project and the availability of project funding. While postholders will commence employment at the same time, individual contracts may end at different points during the project lifecycle as funding reduces or delivery phases conclude.
The role exists solely to deliver this defined project and is not part of the organisation’s ongoing, permanent staffing structure. Employment will therefore come to an end when the role’s project funding ceases or the project concludes.
By joining Derbyshire County Council, you will have access to a range of rewards and employee benefits, including our generous annual leave scheme, excellent local government pension and fantastic employee discounts.
To discover more detail about the rewards and benefits available to you, please consult the council’s benefits page.
We welcome applications from individuals who share our values — being Collaborative, Innovative, Empowered and Accountable. These values describe who we are and what we stand for as a council. They help shape our culture, encourage consistent behaviour and guide how we work together to make a positive difference for both our employees and the residents we serve.
