Job overview
This is a fantastic opportunity to join the clinical and care leadership team within NCL ICB and to drive better, more joined up health and care within boroughs and neighbourhoods.
These are clinical leadership roles that reflect the need for borough-based clinical and care expertise around, and support to, transformation across Haringey with portfolios organised around life-courses: Start Well, Live Well and Age Well. We are looking to fill two Clinical Lead roles, on a secondment basis, up to 20 September 2025, within Haringey, as follows:
* 2 sessions to focus on clinical leadership for Longer Lives Implementation (Live Well)
* 1 session to focus on neighbourhood integration
Each session is 3.5 hours, and the expectation is that successful candidates will be able to commit to working these sessions across one or two days, consecutively.
Main duties of the job
Clinical leads will support local delivery in line with ICB priorities and the strengthening of local clinical and professional collaboration as we continue to develop as an ICS. Postholders will be key members of borough-based teams and will report into the borough Clinical Director and Director of Place.
You will also be part of a broader NCL system-wide clinical and care leadership community to join up, coordinate and share knowledge and work across the ICS footprint, and at the same time providing strategic, clinical and professional input and support.
Working closely with clinical and officer colleagues, postholders will be a key player in building partnerships and collaborating with providers, public health, local authority, other partners (e.g. voluntary sector) and local people to deliver better access, improvements in life outcomes, and reductions in health inequality.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The clinical leads will provide specialist input to borough partnership priorities. As well as inspiring and motivating clinical colleagues to effect change, they will initiate, oversee and directly participate in transformational work linked to Start Well, Live Well and Age Well. We are seeking individuals with deep knowledge and understanding of the health challenges and priorities faced in Haringey, an understanding of local communities and the local health and care landscape.
