Job responsibilities
The Senior Programme
Manager will work within Humber and North Yorkshire ICB and to the broader
partnership of the York Health and Care Partnership to support the progress of
the partnership priority projects, and the adoption and spread of Population
Health Management Tools and Techniques across the system.
The
role involves working strategically to support the new Partnership Board and
Leadership team in delivering a number of set priorities as part of its
emerging role as the Place Based Partnership for York within the North
Yorkshire and Humber Integrated Care System. These priorities are being built
around population health data, but this role exists to turn this insight and
partner priorities into reality, 'doing' real projects and providing effective
advice and hands on support to local teams and partners.
It is a leadership role, tasked with ensuring
integrative approaches between health partners and between health and social
care are taken, to improve quality of care, empower clinicians, engage
seldom-heard communities and deliver population health management in our place.
The role supports two key programmes of work:
Programme #1 York Health and Care
Partnership
Our York Health and Care Partnership is an exemplar of
the way place-based partnerships under a larger Integrated Care System are
starting to function. Drawing from a
cross-section of leaders in health and care, we are asking people work together
in a new way, shaping services and a new culture within York which will lead to
integrated services and more joined-up care. This role will offer senior
programme management resource for the York Partnership, working closely with
CCG and council executives, our facilitator and other partners.
Programme #2 York Population Health Hub
Under the recently
established Population Health Hub for York, a virtual team of data analysts,
service improvement managers and public health specialists, are working
together to embed a population health approach and population health management
techniques into our work as a health and care system. The work centres around
three pillars:
Enabling: training, developing capacity and
supporting the York health and care system to use population health data, and
PHM as a tool
Analysing: delivering the JSNA, making it
useful and used
Doing: tangible, real work leading PHM
projects which show the benefit of this approach
The post holder will
offer senior programme management resource for the Hub, and provide the
capacity we need to deliver its objectives, whilst the Director of Public
Health for City of York Council provides specialist and technical population
health expertise into this work and is the Senior Responsible Officer for the
project.

for System Planning and Improvement to co-ordinate an approach to planning that
clearly links the priorities of York Health and Care Partnership with NHS
operational planning, working with place and system colleagues to ensure all
