      Job summary

      This is an exciting opportunity to work in the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Boards Oversight Team.

      Due to the technical and professional nature of the role, professional supervision and development will be provided by the ICBs Analytics Team whilst day-to-day management and workload will be provided by the Oversight Team.

      The Oversight Team is a small and dedicated/friendly team, working to the ICBs Chief of Staff, which is responsible for the ICB oversight function. The team supports the ICB to become increasingly self-standing and self-assuring, by providing an objective view of delivery and performance, in line with delegated oversight responsibilities from NHS England.

      The ICB oversight function provides an independent and objective, evidence-based view of how the ICB, Kent and Medway providers, our four Health and Care Partnerships, and other system partners are performing and understanding any support requirements they may have.

      You would also be professionally part of a large and vibrant Analytics team. As early adopters of the National Competency Framework, NHS England, for Analytics we attach a high level of importance on the development of our analytical staff.

      This makes for a dynamic workload requiring the valuable development of performance oversight information and insights.

      Main duties of the job

      The main duties of the role are summarised within the Key Responsibilities and Role Summary; sections of the accompanying job description.

  • 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.
