Are you passionate about improving health and wellbeing in our communities? Do you enjoy bringing people together, building partnerships, and making things happen?

We're looking for an enthusiastic, proactive and innovative Senior Cluster Co-ordinator to lead the Cluster Support Team within Central Integrated Health Community (IHC), supporting the development of Clusters across Conwy and Denbighshire.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the forefront of Cluster development in North Wales, where you'll be working with a diverse range of stakeholders from across health, social care, the third sector, and wider public services.

You'll be supported by a capable and experienced team of Cluster Co-ordinators, insightful and engaged Cluster and Collaborative Leads, and excellent senior leadership within the Primary Care Management Team. This is a rewarding role with real scope to make a difference - supporting improvement and innovation in primary care and helping to deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, we'd love to learn more about you, and give you the chance to learn more about Cluster working - so please get in touch for an informal chat.

Main duties of the job

You'll be responsible for leading and co-ordinating the development of local Cluster plans and ensuring alignment with national policy drivers such as A Healthier Wales and the Primary Care Model for Wales. You'll work directly with Cluster Leads and Professional Collaborative Leads - including senior healthcare professionals from General Practice, Optometry, Community Pharmacy and Community Nursing - supporting them in their Cluster leadership roles and helping shape Cluster priorities in response to local population need.

Strong partnership working is key. You'll be someone who enjoys building great relationships, communicates with clarity, and brings people with you. You'll be passionate about whole-system working, able to navigate complexity, and comfortable working across organisational and professional boundaries. You'll help ensure that the work of the Clusters makes a meaningful contribution to national priorities and leads to real improvements in people's lives locally.
