Be part of an ambitious programme of transformation across health and social care in Brent   

 

Brent Council and CCG, working in partnership with key partners through the joint Health and Care Transformation Board (HCTB), have agreed the following vision: 

“To achieve system sustainability in order to be a national exemplar for delivering patient centred care for people through practical front line working, supported by integration and effective joint operational and strategic leadership” 

A joint programme of work has been agreed to deliver this vision: 

1. Older people’s pathway – improving patient flow out of hospital through the establishment of a single point of access, service alignment and improved processes to ensure more people are discharged home through ‘Home First’. 
2. Integrated commissioning and market management – working jointly across social care and CCG funded care to ensure better care for people and joined up discussions with the market 
3. Enhanced care in care homes – working with nursing and residential care providers to respond as a system to the challenges facing the sector and reduce pressure on higher acuity health and care services 

In addition, the Board have agreed to scope three further areas throughout 18/19: 

4. Self care – to determine opportunities for greater management of care in the community, reducing hospital admissions and long term care and support 
5. Dementia and challenging behaviours – to explore opportunities to develop services and support for people with dementia and challenging behaviours to improve outcomes for individuals 
6. Integrated care system development – to explore the potential for further integration across health and social care, including alignment of incentives to deliver key outcome objectives for Brent health and care system 

Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here. 

In short, this is an exciting time to join Brent Council and CCG as we embark on this ambitious programme of transformation, and a real opportunity for the joint team to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of Brent residents.

The Post 

The post is a jointly funded role between the CCG and Council, as part of the Health and Care Transformation Team, to support the development of plans for further integration in Brent included as part of the scoping areas. 

The key areas of focus for the role are: 

• To improve support for people with challenging behaviours and dementia, reducing hospital admissions and delayed transfers of care into the community 
• To develop proposals for services in the community to support more proactive outreach for people at risk of hospital admission 
• To support work towards a fully integrated care system, building on integrated commissioning, to take a whole system approach to incentives, investment and benefit realisation, enabling a greater focus on prevention and community services to keep people well and in their own homes 
• To continuously monitor wider opportunities to improve health and care services in Brent to ensure they respond to best practice and innovation to improve health and care and a more seemless integrated service for patients/residents 

The post will report to the Director of Integrated Care, but will be required to work with senior partners across the CCG and Council.

The Person

The candidate will be able to work effectively with senior stakeholders, have strong programme management skills, analytical skills and experience of working across health and social care settings. But above all, the candidate will be hard working and passionate about improving care for people.
