The programme will create a joined up home first intermediate care system that can support people across BNSSG to regain and maintain their independence, prevent hospital admissions, enable timely discharge and recovery, reduce avoidable use of bedded and long-term care, remove inequalities and achieve better value for money across health and social care resources. Bristol Foundation Trust is hosting a small team on behalf of all system partners to provide the change and programme management support needed to transform intermediate care services. The programme team works across and alongside a wide range of system partners, including Bristol Foundation Trust, Sirona Health and Care, Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council, North Somerset Council, the BNSSGG Integrated Care Board, primary care, mental health, VCSE sector, independent providers and other partners. ### Main duties of the job The Programme Director will provide senior system leadership for the BNSSG Intermediate Care and Prevention Programme, hosted by Bristol Foundation Trust on behalf of health, local authority and VCSE partners. The post holder will be accountable for establishing, directing and assuring a complex, system-wide programme of transformation that improves intermediate care, prevention, discharge, recovery and independence outcomes for the population of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. The role will operate at senior leadership level across organisational boundaries, working with acute, community, mental health, primary care, local authority, ICB, VCSE and independent sector partners. The post holder will translate national policy, local strategy and population need into a coherent programme mandate, delivery plan, investment and benefits case, governance framework and implementation approach. The Programme Director will hold overall responsibility for programme grip, benefits realisation, delivery assurance, stakeholder alignment, risk escalation, resource deployment and the leadership of a small hosted programme team. The existing Band 8b Programme Lead role will report to this post and will lead delegated workstreams within the overall programme architecture. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities For a more detailed job description, main responsibilities, and Person Specification, please refer to the job description document attached to this vacancy. ## Person Specification ### Knowledge **Essential** - Understanding of integrated care systems, provider collaboratives, neighbourhood models and the development of integrated health organisation ambitions. - Strong understanding of current NHS and social care policy, operational pressures and the implications for acute, community, primary care, local authority and VCSE partners. ### Experience **Essential** - Extensive senior leadership experience delivering complex transformation, service redesign or improvement programmes in a large, complex organisation or partnership. - Experience of establishing and running programme governance, risk management, assurance reporting, decision logs, change control and benefits tracking. - Experience of working effectively with executive, board-level, clinical, operational, local authority, ICB, VCSE and partner stakeholders. ### Personal qualities **Essential** - Credible, resilient and politically astute senior leader able to operate across organisational boundaries with integrity and sound judgement. - Delivery-focused, organised and able to maintain calm, clarity and momentum in complex or pressured situations. ### Skills and abilities **Essential** - Highly developed leadership, communication, negotiation, facilitation and influencing skills, including the ability to secure agreement where views differ or information is contentious. ### Education and qualifications **Essential** - Educated to masters level or equivalent level of experience working at a senior level in health or social care settings - Recognised programme, project, change or improvement qualification, such as MSP, APM, PRINCE2, Lean, or equivalent practical expertise applying a structured methodology to complex programmes. ## Documents - [job description (pdf, 422.5kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10551999) - [dbs charges information (pdf, 71.0kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=3005) - [dbs charges information (pdf, 119.1kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?ddoc=2397) - [uhbw staff benefits book (pdf, 12.5mb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?ddoc=2131) - [uhbw behaviours and values (pdf, 299.3kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2476) - [policy statement - ex offenders (pdf, 424.6kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=667) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
