System Oversight Project Manager

NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board

The closing date is 01 May 2024

Job summary

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

We are 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.

In line with the NHS England Oversight Framework, 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.

This makes for a dynamic workload requiring the development of close working relationships across the ICB directorate subject matter expert teams, the ICB Executive Management Team, wider system health and social care organisations, and with NHS England.

Hybrid working model - home and office based

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will work across both Performance and System Oversight to support the robust management of the system oversight model, aligned to the NHS England National Oversight Framework.

The post holder will effectively manage the overarching monthly and quarterly oversight processes with system, ICB, provider, and NHSE colleagues, including the management of meeting outputs.

This important role will also be required to support the development of frameworks and tools to track performance and the production of detailed oversight reports for a range of committees including the ICB Executive Management Team and ICB Board and their sub-groups.
