This will provide formal governance and oversight for the project including regular reporting and appropriate challenge and support in relation to the achievement of contracted spend, outputs and outcomes. On a day to day basis the project will report to and will be overseen by an experienced (G12) Project Manager within the Council's Employment and Skills Service with extensive experience of managing complex, multi-faceted initiatives and of working with TSL and partners on a wide range of projects. This will ensure appropriate checks and balances are in place to manage performance against the contract and ensure all funding is being used appropriately for contracted, eligible activity. TSL will provide leadership & management on the Wellness Works project, overseeing partner performance, management of partners including partner support and development ensuring targets are met, and implement appropriate systems implementation for monitoring and reporting accurate programme data. The organisation has extensive experience of delivering Council and other public sector-funded contracts and has commensurate policies and processes in place to ensure accountability and value for money for public funds. TSL will have a dedicated project manager in place to oversee delivery of all related project activity. The Wellness Works manager will regularly review partner delivery, quality assure interventions, and conduct participant visits to collect feedback and drive improvements.
