Thank you for your interest in the post of Chief Officer/Director of Health and Social Care for Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership, a critical role as health and care services in Dundee move to a new phase of integration, redesign and reform, in service to our communities. The Chief Officer/Director of Health and Social Care (Chief Officer) is accountable to the Dundee Integration Joint Board (IJB) for strategic planning, commissioning and oversight of delivery of the full range of integrated services through the Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP), including commissioning services from its partner organisations and through them, from a range of independent and third sector providers. The Chief Officer leads the integration of health and care services to align with the national Health and Wellbeing Outcomes; the Principles of Integration; and delivery of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014, as defined in our agreed Integration Scheme. Working in close partnership with other stakeholders across the NHS, partner Health & Social Care Partnerships and beyond, the Chief Officer provides the strategic vision required to ensure the development and implementation of transformational strategies and plans to ensure high quality health and care services are provided to the population of Dundee, in line with Government policies and priorities. The Chief Officer contributes to the strategic leadership and management of NHS Tayside and Dundee City Council priorities, as appropriate. The Chief Officer formally reports to both the Chief Executives of NHS Tayside and Dundee City Council, with accountability to the IJB for progress on implementation of the agreed Strategic Plan.
