  Job summary

  We are deepening our place partnership approach in NEE, shifting to a system that is focussed on actively preventing poor health, breaking down siloed working between organisations through integrated working and coordinating the care and support across communities to address the shared drivers of poor health.

  We are committed to work differently together to close the gap in health outcomes that we see between places and those communities of shared interest impacted by health inequality.

  Thats why this role is so important. We are building greater visions of how things could be in our place, as well as fixing things in the here and now.This is your opportunity to lead and influence work to reimagine what we do in partnership with and alongside communities in NEE (with a focus on Tendring) to deliver better health and wellbeing, particularly with groups and communities where this is furthest from reality.

  Our commitment to do this is underlined by the shared and integrated roles we have already introduced that sit across and blur the lines between organisations in our Alliance partnership. You'll be joining an innovative and forward-thinking strategic team leading our Alliance place partnership work. You'll be managing a small team of colleagues directly and through matrix arrangements in addition to working closely with Tendring District Council officers, elected members, and a wide range of local organisations and community stakeholders.

  Main duties of the job

  The post holder will lead the development and implementation of the Alliance Place Partnership plan for health in Tendring and manage the associated developing integrated resource that sits across multiple organisations to ensure work streams and programmes are planned and carried out effectively.

  The post holder will be the lead for managing and maintaining key relationships in the Tendring Place Partnership to drive forward shared priorities for improving population health outcomes and reducing health inequalities.

  The post holder will ensure there is focus on the key determinants of health and the wider ambition of the Alliance to integrate, and bring services and system resource together to maximise impact as a place partnership for the benefit of residents in Tendring.

  The post holder will lead the Tendring Alliance Place Partnership Team directing resources, planning and overseeing the activity of this multi-agency partnership resource to ensure integration with Tendring Primary Care Networks to ensure we have a sustainable model of primary care services within Tendring aligned to place partnership plans.

  The post holder will lead the provision of an efficient, effective and high quality professional and well co-ordinated procurement and contract management service capable of meeting all statutory, regulatory and NHS requirements ensuring alignment with the activity of the organisation.

  About us

  The NHS Suffolk and North-East Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) plans and buys healthcare services for our population. This function is commonly referred to as commissioning. To do this, we work within a budget of around £1.5 billion, which is set by NHS England, and work closely with local government and the NHS providers in our area. Our performance is judged by how well our local health and care system as a whole is working, including the health outcomes of our communities.

  The ICB has delegated some authority to the three health and wellbeing alliances that operate in Suffolk and North-East Essex to act on its behalf. This is to ensure that the needs of smaller, local areas are addressed.

  The ICB remains accountable for all of its functions, including those it has delegated. Local residents have a big role to play in the operation of the ICB. We rely on the experiences and perspectives of our communities to help shape our decision-making.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
