We're looking for an enthusiastic, proactive and innovative Senior Cluster Co-ordinator to lead the Cluster Support Team within Central Integrated Health Community (IHC), supporting the development of Clusters across Conwy and Denbighshire.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the forefront of Cluster development in North Wales, where you'll be working with a diverse range of stakeholders from across health, social care, the third sector, and wider public services.
You'll be supported by a capable and experienced team of Cluster Co-ordinators, insightful and engaged Cluster and Collaborative Leads, and excellent senior leadership within the Primary Care Management Team.

Strong partnership working is key. You'll be someone who enjoys building great relationships, communicates with clarity, and brings people with you. You'll be passionate about whole-system working, able to navigate complexity, and comfortable working across organisational and professional boundaries. You'll help ensure that the work of the Clusters makes a meaningful contribution to national priorities and leads to real improvements in people's lives locally.
