North Central London Integrated Care Board
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.
Interviews will be held in February 2025 and this temporary post is until 20/9/25.
About us
On 1 July 2022, NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) was established. NCL ICB is part of North Central London Integrated Care System (ICS). The ICS is a partnership of organisations that have come together to plan and deliver joined-up health and care services to improve the lives of people in our five boroughs: Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington.
ICBs are statutory NHS bodies responsible for planning and allocating resources to meet the four core purposes of ICSs:
* Improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
* Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access
* Enhance productivity and value for money
* Help the NHS support broader social and economic development
North Central London's population is incredibly diverse and continues to grow and change. This brings pressure and challenges for the local health and care services that NCL ICB commissions - or buys - on behalf of residents. This rich diversity also brings strength and opportunity. NCL ICB works closely with local councils, providers, general practices and primary care, voluntary and community organisations, and unions, to achieve our shared aims.
Job responsibilities
