Hampshireand Isle of Wight Integrated Care System (ICS) isa partnership of local NHS and local government organisations working together to improve the health and wellbeing of our local communities. We are one of the largest health and care systems in the country with a long history of working in partnership to make lives better. Our ICS has been created to better join up hospital and community services, physical and mental health services and health and social care. Working together, we take collective responsibility for managing resources, delivering care and improving the health of the populations we serve. We have been working together to co-ordinate services more closely, to make real, practical improvements to people’s lives, providing more consistency of care, breaking down barriers between services and reducing inequalities.
Coming together as an Integrated Care System (ICS) is a new and exciting way of working and gives us a greater opportunity to make real, lasting change, far more than we could do by working independently. To support our joined-up approach, we are creating a single joint Executive Leadership Team that will incorporate the ICS leadership arrangements and CCG statutory portfolios. As an ICS we will commit to ensuring the right start in life, to enabling individuals to thrive with lives to be well lived and to hospital care being available for those who need it.
Our future Company Secretary will play a pivotal role within the ICS. Acting as the principal advisor to the Board and the organisation as a whole on all aspects of governance. You will manage all corporate and Board business and be responsible for ensuring that there are sound and integrated corporate governance policies, procedures and structures in place; and that the ICB complies with its legal, constitutional and regulatory requirements.
We are looking to speak with committed leaders with an excellent track record of delivery in senior roles and an ability to communicate with staff and external stakeholders and partners across the integrated care system. The ability to develop effective working relationships and influence all members of the multi-professional teams is paramount to this rewarding role.
In HIOW ICB, we recognise the importance of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. We want everyone to feel welcomed, respected, and accepted for who they are. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and welcome applications from underrepresented groups. In recruiting to our Board, we are committed to equality of opportunity for all. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve. We especially welcome applications from candidates from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic heritage, LGBTQ+ communities, and from people with lived experience of disability.
This post offers you the opportunity to contribute fully in the development of ensuring that the ICS has a robust governance infrastructure that supports compliance, complies with NHS England/Improvement in relation to governance, and takes account of the Code of Governance and other relevant best practice recommendations in corporate governance.
