Empowered local people that feel more confident about their health and wellbeing We are seeking to recruit, an experienced and high calibre senior leader with a strong track record of being a Chief Executive, leading in both provider as well as commissioning organisations. This is an opportunity to lead the newly merged NHS West and North London with a population of approximately 48% of Greater London (c4.5m) and approximately £12bn commissioning budget. You will lead the Executive Team who are committed to delivering our vision of becoming a strong and effective strategic commissioner, with a credible vision to deliver on the neighbourhood health model to deliver on the left shift and reverse the right drift that has been experienced over the past five years.

The size of the ICB footprint means the success of the WNL ICB is inextricably linked to the success of London including NHS London Region, Greater London Authority and the London Councils. The ICB and its previous legacy organisations have a strong financial track record, however the merger has increased the complexity of the provider landscape, including 13 local authorities and 18 NHS provider organisations as well as over 500 GP practices and similar numbers of pharmacy and dental practices. The financial allocation for 26/27 is challenging and requires a strong leader to navigate the tensions as the multi-year financial plan starts to be delivered including the need to work with partners to fully realise the commitment to an investment in the left shift from out of hospital care to communities, the cornerstone of which is the neighbourhood model. An in-depth understanding of the London challenges and the contribution the ICBs make to that challenge within their new role as strategic commissioners is of critical importance. You will need to bring the courage and conviction required to make commissioning decisions that may not be popular with both NHS and local authority providers, particularly in the context of the impact of the Fair Funding Review on some inner borough councils, We are NHS West and North London. We are the main commissioning NHS organisation for planning and funding health services across our area. Our job is simple: to help people stay healthy and to make sure everyone can get good care when they need it. We bring together many health and care services across west and north London. This means we help hospitals, GPs, community services, councils and charities work better together for local people. NHS West and North London (WNL) serves over 4.5 million people and covers 13 London boroughs.
