Principal Medical Limited

Oxfordshire GP Leadership Programme Delivery Manager

This job is now closed

Job summary

On 1 July 2022, the Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Integrated Care System (ICS) was established. The ICS is a partnership of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives of people.

Each ICS consists of two statutory elements:

an Integrated Care Board, bringing the NHS together with its partners locally to improve health and care services

an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP): the broad alliance of organisations and representatives concerned with improving the care, health and wellbeing of the population, jointly convened by the ICB and local authorities in the area.

The significant leadership experience, knowledge and skills that General Practice has accumulated over many years is key to the success of the ICS. With that in mind, GP Leadership Groups (GPLGs) are being established in each of the three Places in BOB (Berkshire West, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire).

These new GP Leadership Groups will need support to develop a cohesive leadership team that can inform, engage and collaborate with key stakeholders across the ICS. We are therefore looking to recruit a Programme Delivery Manager and ensure delivery of the Fuller Stocktake in a way that meets our place-based ambitions.

Interviews will be on 15/06/2023

Main duties of the job

This role will suit someone with a genuine enthusiasm for General Practice, extensive experience working in a variety of general practice delivery models, a flair for innovation with impact, and a clear focus on integrating healthcare services.

You will need to be comfortable managing complexity, holding to account, and achieving best practice outcomes including delivery of performance and quality metrics and to approach all this with high emotional intelligence and unswerving patient focus.
