Job overview

Thank you for your interest in joining us at this exciting and important time. At our heart, we are here to serve the people of our communities. Health and care is, above all, a people business - built on relationships, compassion, and the shared ambition to help everyone live healthier, fuller lives. Every role in our organisation contributes to this mission. Every decision we make, every partnership we form, and every change we lead starts with one question: what will best serve our population? 

Our mission is clear: to work with our population to achieve their best health through equitable care, delivering maximum value from every pound spent. We will achieve this by being a highly effective team of commissioners; inclusive, fair, responsive, and innovative; harnessing data and technology, leveraging scale, and staying closely connected to the unique needs of our neighbourhoods. 

The NHS 10-Year Plan provides a strong foundation for our work. It challenges us to: 
• Prevent ill-health and intervene early 
• Personalise care so it works for everyone 
• Tackle health inequalities and improve access for all 
• Embrace digital innovation to improve quality and efficiency 
• Secure long-term sustainability in the face of growing demand 

These priorities will guide our strategies and decisions every day.
