Qualifications and experience at a senior management level would be a significant advantage.

The post holder will be expected to create and support significant collaborations across the independent care sector while contributing to the development of new care pathways which will result in the delivery of improved outcomes for people who access care and support. The post holder will ensure the Independent Sector’s contribution is fundamental to integrated services and transformational change and be able to evidence their impact. The role requires considerable and skilful collaboration with our key partners in the NHS, Local Authority, Carers, third sector organisations and other forums.

Angus is a progressive HSCP committed to working in partnership to strengthen the Independent Sector’s role in health and social care integration.

The successful candidate will be required to spend a significant amount of time in the partnership area and across Tayside. Regular travel within the partnership area will be required.
