Bristol, United Kingdom NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board Full time

We are really pleased to be advertising this new role in our small and friendly Health Inequalities and Prevention team.
The Health Inequalities and Prevention (HIP) team in the ICB is newly established and is co-led by Alexandra Humphrey, Zoe Rice and Hazel Renouf. There are eight people in the team currently. We exist to support system change to tackle health inequalities, embed preventative approaches and recognise the importance of taking a trauma-informed approach. We also provide expert advice to colleagues in the ICB on continuous improvement approaches, use of evidence, survey best practice and evaluation in relation to health inequalities and prevention work.

If so, please read on
You will be leading projects to tackle health inequalities and prevent poor health. This will involve working with local clinicians, public health specialists, administrative and managerial staff and members of the public. Examples of projects the team work on include: increasing the number of people with controlled hypertension, tackling tobacco dependency and addressing healthcare inequalities in liver disease.
Our work involves a continuous improvement approach that is based on system complexity principles. This means that you will need to adapt plans in response to unpredictable developments in the health and care system. You will also need to devote time to building and maintaining good relationships to navigate the unpredictability.
You will oversee Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in our health inequalities and prevention projects. This involves recruitment of and support for public contributors. You will also work with the ICB Insights team to gain other public input for example, through focus groups or surveys.
You will coordinate requests from ICB colleagues for expert advice and guidance on using evidence, evaluation, surveys and continuous improvement approaches in relation to health inequalities and prevention.

The main duties and responsibilities are described above. Please read the Job Description and Person Specification Word Document in the ‘Supporting Documents’ section for full details of the duties and responsibilities that you will be required to undertake.
