ROLE PURPOSE / SUMMARY The Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System will comprise the Integrated Care Board (ICB), which is the statutory body for the NHS, and the Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), which is a committee of the ICB, and brings together key health, care, community, and voluntary sector organisations across the area.

The Nursing and Quality Directorate is responsible for putting patient safety and quality with multi professional leadership at the heart of our system. This means that our health and care performance benefits from the active support and participation of staff within the ICS as part of their day-to-day work. The ICS has committed to developing our clinical and care leadership while adopting an approach to improving the care we provide. It means bringing together the expertise of clinical and multi-professional leaders within a care area to get the best value from our collective system resources, in line with Triple Value aims, ultimately influencing our entire health and care provision. The Directorate will support the system by ensuring quality and safety are at the heart of all we do as well as managing the transition including ongoing pathway development, specialist commissioning activities and change-making within current BAU activity.

There is significant variation in service delivery and models of provision across MSE which is resulting with inequitable access and support for children and adults. The post will focus on local system oversight and integration of these services in utilising the Stewardship approach to support a whole system approach meeting the significant and rising demand.
