Attractive VSM Salary
Closing date
14 Feb 2022

Our Integrated Care System (ICS) footprint covers 1,347 square miles and is one of the smallest in terms of population, covering around 500,000 people across the area of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. The ICS boundaries are coterminous with our two Local Authority footprints of Shropshire County Council and Telford and Wrekin Council. We have two acute hospitals, with services delivered by one acute trust, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust (SaTH). We also have a specialist orthopaedic hospital, Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (RJAH), a community trust (Shropcom), a mental health trust - Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) which covers Shropshire and Staffordshire, and the region is served by the West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust (WMAS). Alongside this, our partnership includes our GP Practices, social care services and our diverse voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. 

Our Opportunities and Challenges

Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin is a beautiful place to live and work, but there is more that we can do to improve people’s lives, tackle inequalities and address the cause of loneliness, poverty and obesity.  As a system we are committed to working ‘together as one’ to seek opportunities to work differently to join services up, maximise the opportunities of innovation and digital technology and ensure our environments are fit for our staff to deliver world-class modern-day health and care services.  We are working in partnership across statutory and non-statutory health and care providers, through open and compassionate relationships; organising teams as locally as possible, and working with our communities, volunteers and staff, to enable our populations to live healthier lives. Equally, our size enables us to be agile and fleet of foot in terms of decision making and delivery.

Subject to legislative approval, our ICS will take on statutory form in July 2022; and following the appointment of our ICB Chair Designate Sir Neil McKay and ICB Interim Designate Chief Executive, Simon Whitehouse, we are now embarking on the process of appointing to several exciting new Executive roles, each of whom will play a pivotal role as we develop our vision, structure, our governance, our strategy and, perhaps most importantly, delivery for local people.  As a system we have committed to 10 pledges that demonstrate our responsibility for the wider social and economic prosperity of our populations.  We are seeking to create a sustainable health and care system in which our communities and our workforce are supported and empowered to thrive and to deliver our aims to reduce health inequalities and improve wellbeing.

The Role

This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious, experienced and inclusive Executive Director of Delivery and Transformation to lead the operational delivery of the work of the ICS, with accountability for Urgent and Emergency Care, Planned Care, Covid19 recovery and restoration as well as leading on key delivery areas within our Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Autism services. This is an exciting and broad role with a significant opportunity to turn our strategy into reality through effective leadership of the development of our Place and Provider collaboratives, ensuring that our delivery, commissioning and contracting mechanisms support our transformation of place-based working and promote continuous improvement. Bringing substantial experience of working in complex organisations at Board level and/or system leadership experience within a regulatory or similar environment, you will quickly build open and trusted relationships with partners across our system. Experienced in highly complex and sometimes contentious transformational change at significant scale, you will quickly build credibility with partners and stakeholders supporting them to drive improvements in health and wellbeing for our populations.

We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments made on merit. We particularly welcome applications from people who are from groups which are underrepresented at senior levels in the NHS and wider society, and we are a Disability Confident Employer.
