North Central London Integrated Care Board
About
North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL CCG) was formally established in July 2022, bringing together five north London boroughs – Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.
NCL ICB is a clinically-led and member-driven ICB with the 203 GP practices across Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington making up our membership. Patients and residents are at the heart of our decision-making. To help shape our plans we listen to all the information shared with us from the people who use the services we commission and the many dedicated professionals who work to deliver them. We ensure the local patient, resident and clinical voice in the commissioning and delivery of health and care services, by working effectively together at all levels of our system.
North Central London’s population is incredibly diverse, and continues to grow and change. This brings pressure and challenges for the local health and care services that NCL ICB commissions – or buys – on behalf of residents. NCL ICB works closely with Councils, providers, general practices, voluntary, community organisations, and unions, to achieve our shared aims.
NCL ICB values our staff, our partners and their expertise to deliver the best health and care possible for the patients and residents of North Central London. We believe in being inclusive and we welcome job applications from all communities and backgrounds.

• help the NHS support broader social and economic development.

Job overview
This role sits within the Chief Medical Officer and Place Directorate. The Directorate holds key statutory and delegated responsibilities for commissioning, contracting and service improvement relating to primary care and community pharmacy provision at system and local level. It is the route through which we deliver major commitments in the Population Health and Integrated Care Strategy and inform system priorities. It plays a crucial role in the development of borough partnerships, local integrated care and neighbourhood working.
The Directorate encompasses the functions under the Chief Medical Officer and Executive Director of Place including Primary Care, Medicines Optimisation, the Borough Integration Units (including development of Place and Borough Partnership arrangements), Prevention and Vaccination, the GP Website and the Clinical and Care Professional Leadership model. It supports the development of an ICB approach to Proactive Care and Long Term Conditions, working closely with partners.
The Directorate works closely with all other Directorates in the ICB as our work comes together at Place and within the Borough Integration Units. It will have a fundamental relationship with the new Strategy and Population Health Directorate and Chief Nursing Directorate around areas such as inequalities, quality and safety and the development of multi-professional clinical and care leadership.
The Directorate works at all levels to progress its objectives - System, Place, Neighbourhood and with London partners - with a particular focus on integrated working and use of population health management approaches to improve access, experience and outcomes. The Directorate will build and maintain a broad range of relationships to further its aims and will connect ICB and ICS Strategy with local delivery - emphasising and valuing hyperlocal knowledge and clinical/ professional contributions. The Directorate is dynamic and flexible and will continue to evolve as the ICB and ICS matures.
The Prevention and Vaccination Team is an NCL wide function designed to support oversight and delivery of our vaccination priorities and key outcomes. A small team who - working alongside others in the ICB and its partner organisations - can be deployed across NCL to support planning, delivery and operations, reporting, hyperlocal work and community outreach.
