Integrated Care 24 (IC24) has a 25+ year history of providing high-quality primary and urgent care services. We have evolved from a Kent GP co-operative to an NHS 111 and Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) service, serving the needs of 6 million people in the south, south-east, and east of England.
Our values of Innovation, Care, Excellence and Respect are at our heart. Any surplus we generate is reinvested to support the enhanced experience of our patients and our staff. We were the first social enterprise in the UK to be awarded the prestigious Gold Mark status, which recognises excellence in a range of areas, such as governance and transparency. We are one of only five social enterprises in the UK to have held this award.
Our current clinical lead NED is retiring, having completed their maximum three terms of office and so we are now recruiting for a successor. We are seeking an individual with experience in clinical leadership and management at Board level, ideally in a large and complex health or care organisation. We welcome individuals with leadership and management experience in medical, nursing, midwifery, allied health, or clinical academia who can bring insights into the management of complex care, champion clinical quality and safety, and assist the Board in assuring the safety and quality of the services provided.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised, registered clinical qualification and bring strong knowledge of clinical governance and assurance. You will be an experienced Board member within a private, public and/or VCSE setting. You will have demonstrated the ability to spot opportunities and encourage others to step out of their comfort zone. An understanding of the NHS regulatory environment will be beneficial, as will experience working in fast-growing (ideally digital) environments.
Ultimately, what is vital to us are your behaviours and alignment with our values. We welcome applicants from a broad range of backgrounds who are passionate about working with a Board to ensure and drive improvement in a complex and highly rewarding setting. You will have a relentless focus on improving the experience of the people who use our services and the people who deliver those services.
