Main duties of the job

This post will have a key role in actioning the priority projects that help to deliver the Integrator’s key objectives for our residents and communities of improving health outcomes, tackling health inequalities, enhancing productivity and value for money, and contributing to broader economic and social development.

The post holder will also support the development and implementation of strategy in designated care areas under their responsibility and bring stakeholders together from across the sector to work together to design and deliver our current and future care requirements, adopting a methodical approach to Quality Improvement.

Skills of communication, negotiation and partnership working across the key clinical and professional groups (including individuals and families with life experience of their clinical conditions and our local services, as well as patient representative bodies) will be essential.

Post-holders will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the needs of our local population, and the nature of the key communities who will benefit from tailored and targeted services to address their needs.
