In our communications, we seek to inform and engage, to involve and encourage, and we use every available channel to do so.

We’re looking for someone to help us build the story of health and care in South East London. We have a wide range of audiences, including our residents, our MPs, our partners and peers, and we do a huge variety of work.

- Manage incoming media enquiries and liaise with colleagues as appropriate. In some cases, you will work alongside the borough-based communications and engagement teams on the handling of local media enquiries.
- Develop strong relationships with local media across the south east London area as well as with London-wide and national media contacts as required.

The South East London Integrated Care System (ICS) brings together the health and care partners that serve our vibrant and highly diverse populations resident in the London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark - our Places.

Our partnership brings together six local authorities, over 200 general practices (operating within 35 Primary Care Networks), Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital NHS FT, King’s College Hospital NHS FT, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, South London and the Maudsley Mental Health FT and Oxleas FT. Importantly, the ICS seeks to be connected to the communities we serve (circa 1.92m residents) and work with the widest possible range of community, voluntary and third sector groups and organisations in each borough. The reach of our NHS provider portfolios extends beyond the borders of the ICS, across London, the south of England and nationally for some services.

The South East London ICB is the NHS management unit of the ICS. It is accountable both to NHS England and to the South East London Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).
