all with different health and care needs. The Partnership (ICS) works across a
geographical area of more than 1,500 square miles which includes cities, market
towns and many different rural and coastal communities. Our area stretches
along the east coast of England from Scarborough to Cleethorpes and along both

Job description
Job responsibilities
The
Inclusion Health Programme manager will be responsible for the development,
implementation, and on-going delivery of the inclusion health work-plan for
Humber and North Yorkshire.
This
is an exciting and rewarding opportunity that will allow the successful
applicant to oversee a vital and urgent agenda for improving the health and
wellbeing of some of the regions most vulnerable and marginalised groups. This
will require a holistic and collaborative approach that recognises the complex
and interrelated factors that affect the health of inclusion health groups and
the barriers they face in accessing health care and will involve taking a
trauma informed approach to working with people, communities, organisations and
systems and being a strong advocate for this approach.
The
Programme manager will be responsible for the establishment and coordination of
partnership efforts to understand the causes of ill health and wellbeing among
inclusion health groups, and identify the greatest opportunities to work
together to tackle these issues.
This
approach will aim to improve the physical and mental health outcomes of inclusion
health groups across Humber and North Yorkshire. It will include action to
reduce the occurrence of ill-health and improve wellbeing, including addressing
wider determinants of health. This will rely on partnership working with
communities, organisations, local authorities, people with Lived Experience and
individuals with a relevant role or interest in this across the Humber and
North Yorkshire area.
Inclusion
health groups are a relatively small but significant population, with high health
and social care needs, who face a range of barriers in accessing services. Inclusion health is a
catch-all term used to describe people who are socially excluded, typically
experience multiple overlapping risk factors for poor health (such as poverty,
violence, and complex trauma), experience stigma and discrimination, and are
not consistently accounted for in electronic records (such as healthcare
databases). These experiences contribute considerably to increasing health
inequalities and frequently lead to barriers in access to healthcare and
extremely poor health outcomes, which evidence tells us are overall worse than
the general population.
Work
will target although not be limited to the following populations:
People who experience
homelessness
People with drug and
alcohol dependence
Vulnerable migrants and
refugees
Gypsy and traveller
communities
Roma Communities
People in contact with
the justice system
Sex workers
Other marginalised groups
e.g., victims of modern slavery
