Job overview

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.

• 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.
