Civic Society Advisor - B7 in Chelmsford

ROLE PURPOSE / SUMMARY

ROLE PURPOSE / SUMMARY The Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a new organisation formed through the consolidation of three ICB areas in response to the NHSs ambition to deliver a more streamlined, strategic and cost-effective model of health commissioning.

The ICB will oversee the commissioning of care for the approximately 2 million people who live in Essex.

Operating within a reduced running cost envelope and aligned to the new requirements of ICBs in England, the ICB will focus on improving population health outcomes, health equity and smarter resource allocation.

The Civic Society Advisor will provide specialist expertise to support the development and implementation of a structured engagement model between NHS Essex and the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector.

Working closely with the Chief of Staff, the postholder will lead the design and delivery of consultation activity, support development of the VCSE engagement market, and contribute to the implementation of a sustainable and effective model for partnership working.

This includes supporting procurement, mobilisation and transition to a new model of engagement.

The role will ensure that the VCSE sector is effectively represented, sustainably supported, and meaningfully involved in shaping health and care services, supporting improved outcomes, reduced inequalities and stronger community partnerships.

As the ICB transitions to become a leaner, more focused strategic commissioning organisation the post holder will be expected to support the Chief of Staff in delivering on the three fundamental shifts set out in the NHS 10-year plan: From Treatment to

Prevention: Embedding preventative, personalised and population based approaches to commissioning.

From Hospital to

Community: Championing care model redesign that supports community and neighbourhood health.

From Analogue to

Digital: Enabling clinically driven transformation through digital innovation, data analytics and evidence based improvement.
