Applications are now being sought for the permanent post of Head of Integrated Health and Care (Older People) within the Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership.
PKHSCP is a caring, compassionate partnership with great ambition for enabling our people to live life well and achieve the very best outcomes.
We are looking to appoint to the role of Head of Integrated Health & Care (Older People) within a new senior leadership structure to strengthen integration and to meet our ambition of outstanding outcomes for our people. If you can think big and drive our vision forward by leading more creative and innovative solutions to meet current and future challenges, we would love to work with you.
The Head of Integrated Health & Care (Older People) will lead, manage and control an integrated service model which provides safe, high quality, person-centred in-patient and community health and social care services for older people across Perth and Kinross. You will deliver services for older people in accordance with the Perth and Kinross Integration Joint Board’s strategic objectives, commissioning, and delivery plans and in line with local and national quality, financial, performance and governance targets. You will be responsible for large budgets for health and social care for older people and for integrating these to realise a shift in the balance of care from acute to community. A key responsibility is to ensure that services for older people are designed to meet the needs and profile of our population now and into the future underpinned by an ethos of ambition, integrity, and compassion. You will ensure that this is built around a locality model of integrated teams, co-designed with and for people with lived experience and communities avoiding a “top down” approach.
