At North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) things are changing.
As an improving integrated care trust we are now investing in new medical leadership posts as part of our overall strategy to become a genuinely clinically-led organisation. These are part of a wider structural change that gives clinicians greater responsibility for the services they deliver.
We are now looking to recruit a Mental Health and Learning Disability Strategic Lead.
To be successful you will have the skills, energy and enthusiasm to drive the change and innovation to help us deliver the best possible care. You will add a strong clinical voice to our leadership team and contribute to a culture which values professional excellence and enables our clinicians to be the best they can be.

The Trust currently has a £40m development programme for our West Cumberland Hospital site, and plans for a new £20m Community Diagnostic Centre proposed to open in 2024.
