Brent Integrated Care Partnership has several exciting opportunities available, supporting the borough-based partnership to deliver Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in a changing and evolving health and care landscape, as well as running a range of health and care transformation projects across the partnership.
In light of the local ICB restructuring, and the selection of CNWL as the Brent “Integrator” function, the Brent ICP Partners are restructuring their team, leading to a number of vacant positions becoming available.
We have a number of roles available, hosted by CNWL but working as part of a wider partnership of health and care organisations in Brent.
