ROLE PURPOSE / SUMMARY

The Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a new organisation formed through the consolidation of three ICB areas in response to the NHSs ambition to deliver a more streamlined, strategic and cost-effective model of health commissioning. The ICB will oversee the commissioning of care for the approximately 2 million people who live in Essex. Operating within a reduced running cost envelope and aligned to the new requirements of ICBs in England, the ICB will focus on improving population health outcomes, health equity and smarter resource allocation.

The Head of Learning and Change is a senior strategic leadership role responsible for providing system-wide leadership for the Essex WorkWell Programme across a complex partnership of NHS organisations, local authorities, employment support providers, voluntary and community sector organisations and wider stakeholders.

The postholder will lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of the Essex WorkWell delivery model, ensuring successful mobilisation and delivery of a 6.3 million pound programme and achievement of contractual, performance and outcome requirements. They will be responsible for translating national policy and programme requirements into local strategy and delivery plans that support both national objectives and local system priorities.

Operating with a high degree of autonomy, the postholder will act as the principal strategic link between the Essex system, the National Support Team and Regional Programme Adviser, providing expert advice on learning, change, service transformation and work and health integration.

The postholder will be accountable for ensuring that WorkWell learning, behavioural change, performance improvement and system adoption are embedded across the Essex health and care system and aligned with wider transformation programmes including neighbourhood health, prevention, economic inactivity reduction and Local Government Reorganisation.
