Job overview
Brent Integrated Care Partnership has a number of exciting opportunities available, supporting the borough based partnership to deliver Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in a changing and evolving health and care landscape, as well as running a range of health and care transformation projects across the partnership.
In light of the local ICB restructuring, and the selection of CNWL as the Brent “Integrator” function, the Brent ICP Partners are restructuring their team, leading to a number of vacant positions becoming available.
We have a number of roles available, hosted by CNWL but working as part of a wider partnership of health and care organisations in Brent.
Brent Integrated Care Partnership (Brent ICP) brings together health and care organisations from across the borough. It aims to work collaboratively with all the health, care and wellbeing organisations that serve the community of Brent.
The partnership includes:
· Brent Council
· London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust
· Healthwatch Brent
· Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust
· Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust
The ICP is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of residents and is committed to working with all of our diverse communities to ensure everyone’s needs are met.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will manage the business and the committees of the Brent ICP with efficiency and proactivity, ensuring that agendas are planned effectively in advance of the meeting and that proactive conversations are had with key meeting attendees and committee members. The Business Manager is responsible for managing the Band 5 Business Support Officers and any associated partnership hosted roles. The post is responsible for ensuring that papers have a purpose and that the key “asks” and decisions are articulated clearly to decision-makers. This is a key role in the functioning of the Brent borough-based partnership.
The role may also deliver an assignment (project) that forms part of the team's overall portfolio of activities. The post-holder will be required to use project management tools and techniques to support the project's effective delivery, including ensuring effective communication with key stakeholders, both within and potentially outside of the organisation.

The Trust has a Valuing Diversity in the Workplace Policy, and you are expected to adhere to the policy and support equality and value diversity by making sure that you do not discriminate, harass or bully colleagues, visitors or service users. You are also expected to make sure that you don’t contribute to discrimination, harassment or bullying or condone discrimination, harassment or bullying by others.
