It’s an exciting time to be joining the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland communications and engagement team as we move into the next phase of development.
The NHS in the UK is going through some exciting and transformative times, particularly with its 10-year plan and the ongoing engagement with staff, patients, and the public that this will bring.
Why is it exciting?
* Innovation: The integration of new technologies, such as digital health records, telemedicine, and AI-based diagnostics, is creating a more connected and efficient healthcare system.
* Empowerment: Committed to patients and the public having more opportunities to engage in their care and in the broader decisions about how services are delivered.
* Workforce Investment: The focus on supporting NHS staff, reducing burnout, and attracting new talent will aim to ensure that the NHS can continue to deliver world-class care, despite growing demand.
* Preventative Health: Moving towards more preventative care instead of reactive treatment can have long-term benefits for public health and reduce strain on the system.
We are refreshing and reviewing our own People and Communities strategy to support this period of significant change, with significant effort being put into making sure we have the right engagement from all sectors of society. The opportunities for telling the story of the local NHS and positively influencing people's knowledge about using services and looking after their health will be endless.
There is a lot to get stuck into to make a difference in supporting the future of health and care - integrating new technologies, empowering local people with more opportunities to engage in their care, supporting our workforce and the shift towards preventative care instead of reactive treatment.
The Communications Officer will support the development and day-to-day delivery of internal and external communications for the LLR ICB, both proactive and reactive.
The successful candidate will have a flair for producing engaging and creative online and offline content and be able to plan and deliver activities across our range of corporate communications channels to help create informed and involved colleagues across the ICB and an engaged network of stakeholders and partners.
The postholder will provide high-quality support to the Senior Communications and Public Affairs Lead to ensure the delivery of an effective and efficient corporate communications service.
The role will support continuous improvement of the corporate communications functions, actively seeking new and innovative ways to deliver the functions of the team and individual duties, ensuring information about the ICB is provided in appropriate formats and is accessible through the range of communications channels.
Working for us
Integrated Care Boards are at the heart of a new way of working for the NHS, bringing together providers of NHS services with local authorities and other local partners to plan, co-ordinate and arrange health services as part of what is to be known as an Integrated Care System. They are part of a fundamental shift in the way the health and care system is organised – away from competition and organisational autonomy and towards collaboration, with health and care organisations working together to better integrate services, improve population health and reduce health inequalities.
