Job overview
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust's strategy seeks to deliver our vision of ‘better health, for life’. It is rooted in a set of core values – to be kind, aspirational, collaborative and expert – and is focused around three strategic goals:
* To help create a high quality integrated care system with the population of north west London.
* To develop a sustainable portfolio of outstanding services.
* To build learning, improvement and innovation into everything we do.
The work of the strategy, research, innovation & improvement directorate, led by our Executive Director Prof Bob Klaber, primarily focuses on the delivery of our third strategic goal – to build learning, improvement and innovation into everything we do. The directorate includes sub‑functions of improvement, innovation, strategy & partnerships, sustainability, population health & equity (to which these roles directly relate) and life sciences.
We are seeking two passionate and engaging Population Health Senior Project Managers to deliver an ambitious set of objectives to improve population health and health equity in north west London.
Main duties of the job
* To positively influence the health of north west London, we aim to embed a population health approach across all our services and find ways to better serve the communities outside of hospital walls. Our approach focuses on health equity, prevention and our role as an anchor organisation.
* Join a developing population health team and, in response to identified needs, coordinate and deliver population health projects and improvement initiatives.
* Work closely with clinical, operational and community partners to design, implement and evaluate interventions that improve healthcare access, experience and outcomes for populations with the greatest health needs.
* One role will focus on projects in collaboration with clinical services at the Trust; the second role will focus on engaging with local communities and working with voluntary and community sector organisations. Both roles will collaborate on health equity and prevention projects.
* These are two new fixed‑term (24‑month) roles. At least 50% in‑person working is required at the main hospital sites. We support flexible working arrangements but cannot consider anything less than 0.8 whole‑time equivalent (WTE).
