Chief Officer - Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (Permanent)

Advert

 

We are justifiably proud of Renfrewshire’s Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) whose reputation for excellence is well known and longstanding.

The HSCP is an established innovative partnership, responsible for delivering all primary care, local community health and social care services to Renfrewshire’s people in an integrated way. The HSCP is a full partnership between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Renfrewshire Council.

Our vision is for Renfrewshire to be a caring place where people are treated as individuals and are supported to live well.

With a total budget of around £423m, the services and functions of the Renfrewshire Health and Social Care partnership are delivered to our population of over 179,100 people by around 2,260 health and social care staff employed between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Renfrewshire Council. Our transformation journey over the past number of years has been hugely progressive with many successes having already been achieved in developing health and social care services in line with national direction, statutory requirements and further integrated working.

We are now searching for a new Chief Officer who will lead from the front as a champion for diversity and inclusion, advocating and challenging the organisation to fulfil its ambitions. This is a truly exciting time to consider joining us as this position will be at the forefront of an ambitious and challenging agenda providing both leadership and direction to the HSCP. It’s also a critical time as we continue to build our Covid 19 recovery and renewal plans directing the re-mobilisation of health
and social care services.

We are seeking applications from candidates who can evidence a successful track record of driving large scale organisational and cultural change programmes within a large complex NHS or local authority/government organisation.

As a compassionate and skilled leader, you will embrace and develop our approach to a positive environment, through shared professional decision making and collective leadership, with a passion for building professional excellence and achieving high quality outcomes.

This is a unique and high profile role with a strong focus on collaborative working with a range of key stakeholders, including Directors and Chief Officers in the Council and NHS Board, other local authorities, the Scottish Government, elected members, third and independent sector providers, trade unions/professional organisations and employees to promote public awareness and involvement and achieve optimum development of services and in accordance with statute and Best Value arrangements.

Pivotal to the role will be the ability to work in partnership as the post holder will be accountable to the Integration Joint Board and will report to and work closely with the Chief Executives of both NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Renfrewshire Council, in addition to being a member of the NHS and Council’s senior leadership teams.
