Medical Secretary jobs in Leek North

The publication of the Governments 10-Year Health Plan: Fit for the Future sets out an ambitious agenda for the health of the population and for the NHS. As part of that ambition, it makes clear that every system requires an Integrated Care Board that will function as the strategic commissioner of local health services, responsible for all but the most specialised commissioning, using multi-year budgets to drive improvement. This means ensuring that the money available to our local health and care system is put to the best possible use: to improve the local population’s health, reduce health inequalities and improve access to consistently high-quality services.

The NHS needs commissioners who can better understand the health and care needs of their local populations, who can work with users, providers and wider communities and partners to develop strategies to improve health and tackle inequalities and who can contract with providers to ensure consistently high-quality, safe and efficient care. Improving access and waiting times, in particular against NHS constitutional standards, will continue to be core indicators of whether population needs are being met.

At the same time, we have a collective responsibility to reduce cost and become as effective as possible through reducing duplication and being clear on our core purpose. It is clear that there is much to do.

To provide effective and administrative support to the Corporate Services team , ensuring the smooth and professional delivery of directorate activities ensuring all priorities and deadlines are met .

To provide a professional reception and front-of-house service for members of the public, ICB staff and external stakeholders, ensuring a courteous and helpful approach that supports good customer service and positive working relationships.

Our goal as a clustered ICB is to lead and support delivery of the four Integrated Care System (ICS) aims across the geographies of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent:

• Improving outcomes in population health and care
• Tackling inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access
• Enhancing productivity and value for money
• Helping the NHS to support broader social and economic development.

Please note that the Cluster ICB has consulted with its workforce on changes to contractual base locations and hybrid working arrangements and is implementing a consistent hybrid working model across the Cluster. The new arrangements are intended to support closer and more collaborative working across the Cluster ICB, through a consistent approach to hybrid working and the use of designated office locations.
