We are seeking an exceptional strategic leader to join our Population Health Improvement leadership team as Deputy Chief Officer for Population Health Improvement (COPHI) & Director of Strategy.
This is a rare opportunity to influence the future of healthcare across one of the largest and most ambitious Integrated Care System clusters in England. Working alongside the Chief Officer for Population Health Improvement, you will lead the development of long-term population health strategy, drive system-wide transformation, and help shape a commissioning organisation responsible for improving outcomes for communities across Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset.
As the NHS continues to evolve under the Model ICB Blueprint and the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, this role will play a critical part in delivering the three strategic shifts: prevention, digital transformation and care closer to home, while ensuring the best possible use of public resources.
This is an exciting time to join our organisation as we work towards a formal cluster merger planned for April 2027 and develop a new strategic commissioning model serving communities across the South West. You'll be joining a collaborative "team of teams" culture where innovation, inclusion and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do.
