Job Summary
Integrated Care Consultant (Consultant or GP)
Solihull is widely recognised as one of the most desirable places to live and work in the UK, with a strong local economy, high-quality housing, excellent schools and extensive green space. It combines a thriving town centre with access to world-class healthcare and international connectivity through Birmingham Airport.
Demand for health and care services is changing rapidly. An ageing population, increasing complexity and persistent inequalities mean traditional models are no longer sufficient. Across Solihull and the wider Birmingham and Solihull system, there is a clear ambition to deliver more joined-up, community-based care that supports people to remain well and independent, with services built around neighbourhoods rather than organisations.
Within this context, UHB is seeking an experienced clinician to help shape and deliver the next phase of community services transformation.
This role will suit a consultant in Acute Medicine or Health Care of Older People, or a GP with significant experience in managing frailty and complex patients across community pathways. The successful applicant will combine strong clinical judgement with the ability to lead change across organisational boundaries, working alongside Dr Deepika Yadav, CDG 7 Medical Director, and system partners. demonstrating inclusive, collective leadership across medical, nursing, AHP and wider professional groups to deliver shared system priorities.
Main Duties, Tasks & Skills Required
Main duties
The post sits within community services in Solihull and combines direct clinical care with a defined leadership responsibility. Alongside delivering high-quality care as part of multidisciplinary teams, the post holder will lead collaboratively with MDT colleagues to drive transformation focused on strengthening pathways for frail patients, reducing avoidable admissions and improving coordination across the system ensuring that redesign is co-produced, clinically owned and delivered through MDT leadership across organisational boundaries.
This is not a role where leadership can be delegated. It requires someone comfortable operating in a complex, high-demand environment, bringing clarity and pace to pathway redesign while working alongside and through other professional leads to deliver shared priorities. The role also requires the ability to influence senior colleagues, build trust across professional groups and maintain grip on delivery while services evolve.
Solihull already has strong foundations, including established multidisciplinary working and clear system direction toward integrated neighbourhood care. The focus now is on strengthening how services connect, improving consistency across pathways and embedding models that are sustainable at scale.
