Job overview

Ready to play a key leadership role in the future of neighbourhood health and care?

Across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, health and care organisations are strengthening neighbourhood-based ways of working to deliver more joined-up, person-centred care closer to home. As we continue to deliver the ambitions of the NHS 10-Year Plan and develop integrated neighbourhood teams, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape how Adult Community Services contribute to that vision.

We are seeking ambitious, compassionate and innovative leaders to join us as Integrated Neighbourhood Community Leads. These are senior leadership roles within Adult Community Services, providing the opportunity to lead high-quality community services whilst working in partnership with colleagues across primary care, social care, mental health services, acute services and the voluntary sector.

As an Integrated Neighbourhood Community Lead, you will provide senior clinical, operational and professional leadership for Adult Community Services within a defined neighbourhood footprint. Working alongside other neighbourhood leaders and system partners, you will help strengthen integrated ways of working, improve outcomes for local people and ensure services are responsive to the needs of the communities they serve.

The role combines professional leadership, service management and partnership working, with responsibility for the quality, performance, workforce and operational delivery of Adult Community Services within your neighbourhood. You will support multidisciplinary teams to deliver excellent care, contribute to the development of neighbourhood models of care and help ensure services remain safe, effective and person-centred.

This is an exciting opportunity to influence how community services evolve within integrated neighbourhoods, helping to improve patient and staff experience, reduce health inequalities and support people to live healthier, more independent lives.

We are recruiting to a number of opportunities across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly through a single recruitment process including:

South Kerrier and Isles of Scilly - 1 WTE

Penwith - 0.4 WTE

North Coastal and Bosvena – 1 WTE

Launceston – 1 WTE

Working closely with colleagues from primary care, social care, mental health services, acute services, the voluntary sector and local communities, you will represent Adult Community Services within neighbourhood partnerships and contribute to the development of integrated models of care that improve outcomes and experiences for local people.

You will provide leadership to multidisciplinary community teams, creating the conditions for high‑quality, compassionate and effective care to flourish. You will champion innovation, quality improvement and continuous learning whilst ensuring services deliver against quality, performance and workforce objectives.

The role requires a leader who can balance operational delivery with longer‑term service development, ensuring Adult Community Services play a key role within wider neighbourhood partnerships. Whilst accountable for community services within their portfolio, the post holder will work collectively with other neighbourhood leaders and system partners to support the shared ambition of delivering joined‑up, effective and sustainable care closer to home.

In undertaking the duties of this post, the post holder must comply with the NMC/HCPC Code.

Working for our organisation

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 5,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 10 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
