Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen to lead the next phase of the City and Hackney neighbourhoods programme. 

We have established 8 Neighbourhoods across City and Hackney which each serve populations of 30,000 to 50,000 people.  Our Neighbourhoods provide the structure to address health inequalities and deliver preventative, joined-up care utilising a population health management approach working in partnership with local communities. The Neighbourhood model is a key strategic objective for City and Hackney health and care partners as we recognise that this way of working is required to meet changing demographic pressures and support sustainability of our health and care system.

 Having successfully established supporting infrastructure, enablers and ways of working, we are now transitioning to fully embed Neighbourhood teams as standard practice across our place to meet changing demographic pressures and support sustainability.

They  will draw on this experience to lead a complex programme to design and implement our City and Hackney Neighbourhood team model, working in partnership  with the local authority, voluntary sector and community organisations, patients, carers and the wider community in City and Hackney.
