Deputy Chief Executive

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board is one of the largest and most complex ICBs in England and is working to enable Greater Manchester to be a place where everyone can live a good life, growing up, getting on and growing old in a greener, fairer more prosperous city-region. It is a statutory part of Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, 12 separate organisations which champion joined up working to help people live independent, active and healthy lives, all while making the system work better for the public and professionals who serve it

Main duties of the job

The Deputy Chief Executive is a pivotal role leading the delivery of the strategy and day to day running of the ICB. It is a role that will test and enhance your already well-honed leadership skills, working collaboratively within partners across the system to address the complex issues they face in delivering services to 2.8 million people. Greater Manchesters history of devolution and an inheritance of closer working between the NHS, local government, and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, has been instrumental in shaping the design of these new national partnerships to support local health and care needs. Although our deep and strong connections have started to deliver real health improvements to a population where too many still spend too much of their lives in poor health, the pandemic set progress back. There is now a real opportunity to make further change: to better address health inequalities, further improve clinical outcomes, and contribute to the wider social and economic development of Greater Manchester.

The Deputy Chief Executive will play a key role in helping us develop as an organisation and our people, helping the system and providers collaborate and work in partnership to address the challenges facing Greater Manchester, and supporting the implementation of our Joint Forward Plan and wider Integrated Care Partnership Strategy.
