Job overview

What would it take to make Hounslow one of London's leading places for integrated health and care? We are seeking an exceptional Managing Director for the Hounslow Integrator to lead one of London's most ambitious place-based partnerships. Hosted by West London NHS Trust, this high-profile system leadership role offers the opportunity to bring partners together around a shared vision, strengthen neighbourhood-based care and deliver measurable improvements in population health.

Working closely with NHS providers, the London Borough of Hounslow, primary care, the voluntary sector and wider system partners, you will drive collaboration, improve outcomes, reduce inequalities and create collective accountability for delivery. You will be a visible and influential leader with the credibility to build trusted relationships across a complex health and care system.
