Band 9 - £105,327 - £120,385 Inclusive of Hcas

2 year fixed term contract - 0.6wte [potential for full time]

Secondments encouraged

The four community health providers in SE London, with health and social care partners, are working collaboratively on strengthening and developing adult and children's community health services through adults and children's and young people's Community Provider Networks (CPNs), chaired by provider CEOs.

The Networks are well regarded in SE London and there is potential for them to grow and strengthen their programme of work, contribution and influence. We are looking for an experienced senior leader with extensive knowledge of community health services and their potential within the health and social care sector, to lead and drive forward the work of both CPNs.

Current work programmes include the development of a SE London-wide set of 'core offers' which seek to improve quality and address health inequalities through ensuring common patient outcomes across our six boroughs, within our community services. Other major programmes include the development of urgent community response services (adults) in line with national requirements, a workforce programme and a comprehensive data and digital development programme.

We also would welcome applications from those interested in a different work/life balance or who would like a part-time role.

Interviews planned for 6th October 2023.

Main duties of the job

You will need to be able to work from home, although will be expected to travel.

There is also an important role to influence, liaise and communicate within the SE London Integrated Care System and more widely by developing and maintaining constructive working relationships with Place forums and other key partners, particularly NHS London and other London ICBs. The post holder will also need to work with the other two SE London provider collaboratives: the South London Mental Health Partnership and the SE London Acute Provider Collaborative.

In addition to the CPN work programmes, there may be opportunities to deliver integrated care system functions in relation to community services, delegated by the SE London Integrated Care Board. This may include the option of extending the role beyond the three days/week if the post holder agrees.

The person will need to provide strategic leadership and develop and manage the work programme, managing a small transformation team and working with lead clinicians from the providers.

This is a largely autonomous role working with Chief Executives and Executive Directors. You will be a self-starter experienced in designing and implementing service change, and in working strategically across health and social care. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operational leader to gain experience of working more strategically within the health sector, or for those who can bring development and commissioning experience to the role.
