Associate Director of Place Delivery & Integration

Hillingdon Place is establishing a Place Integrator Team to protect and improve delivery capability, organisational memory and system coordination. The integrator team is deliberately lean: it enables delivery across organisational boundaries rather than duplicating provider operational, corporate or programme functions. The Associate Director of Place Delivery and Integration will act as the senior integrator supporting the Place Managing Director. The postholder will provide whole-system delivery leadership, executive coordination, governance support, performance grip, escalation and partnership management across Hillingdon's Place programme. The role will be central to maintaining momentum across neighbourhoods, reactive care, discharge, specialist mental health, hospital-to-community transformation and the new hospital redevelopment trajectory., The postholder will work at senior level across Hillingdon Health and Care Partners to translate agreed Place priorities into practical delivery, ensuring that responsibilities, risks, dependencies, milestones and escalations are clear across partners. The role will maintain a shared view of delivery progress and performance, line managing the BI Lead and Light-touch Delivery/PMO Lead and ensuring that analytical insight, programme controls and escalation routes operate as a coherent Place integrator function. It will ensure that issues which cannot be resolved within individual programmes or organisations are surfaced and progressed through the appropriate Place, partner or system route.

This is not an operational director role and does not directly manage provider services. Its value lies in integration, coordination, grip, assurance, senior deputising capacity and the ability to secure executive follow-through across organisational boundaries.

The postholder will be working in the the Core team of the Place-based Partnership. The team is friendly and supportive, enjoys hybrid working opportunities, and encourages innovation and self development.
