About North London Councils Partnership
The post will sit within the North London Councils Partnership, which is hosted by Camden Council. The North London Councils Programme Team was set up by the 5 North London Councils (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey & Islington):
- to deliver programmes of work that address shared priorities in social care in partnership and
- to promote a strong local authority presence within North London’s Integrated Care System (ICS).
The Partnership is a high profile, high performing team that in 2021 won the national LGC award for Adult Social Care demonstrating the impact of our work.
How You’ll Be Involved
This role is being offered on a 12 month fixed term basis where you will play a key part in leading and developing the strategic priorities and proposals for future commissioning/delivery approaches for the provision of community equipment for residents with social and health needs across the 5 local authorities and the NHS.
As the strategic lead for the community equipment review, you will report to a steering group on progress, priorities, and resource use recommendations. You will also support engagement and co-design with key stakeholders, including residents who use the equipment, care providers (such as care homes and domiciliary care), and NHS providers, to enhance the impact of future community equipment provision.
The role involves strengthening engagement with adult social care services within the five local authorities to raise awareness of the programme and align it with each borough's priorities. You will play a pivotal part in developing benchmarking for innovative equipment services to support better outcomes for residents and review different operational models, such as in-house delivery of equipment services.
All About You
We are looking for a developing leader who is looking to further develop their skills, experience and impact in delivering change. You may have a background in transformation, service delivery, commissioning, project or programme management or something else, but whatever your background you will have a clear commitment to implementing change that improves services. You will be a doer, working with the wider team to implement change, and you will bring curiosity around the range of solutions available and what can make a meaningful difference.
To be successful in this post, you will be excellent at building credible relationships across a wide range of stakeholders across the 5 Councils and NHS partners and in particular you will be pro-active in working very closely with DASS’s, Directors of Commissioning and other senior leaders across NCL and with social care providers to shape and deliver transformation projects. You will be experienced at working collaboratively across organisations, developing excellent partnerships across the local authority and health landscape and inspiring confidence in stakeholders and staff at a time of significant change. You will be able to deal with conflicting views at a senior level including offering pragmatic and palatable solutions.
You will benefit from direct exposure to senior local government and NHS officers across north central London and from coming into an existing well-respected and innovative programme.
