Job overview

The Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) has ambitious plans to tackle the long-standing health inequalities that exist within its geography, improving population health, outcomes and experience for its residents across the four places.

We are seeking a Cancer Lead for the Morecambe Bay geographic footprint who will provide leadership to our work on cancer pathways, ensuring we meet the needs of our residents and support the ICB’s strategic direction.  You will use data to identify key areas of focus for this geographic footprint, participate in developing programmes of education for local clinicians and care professionals, increase awareness of new or evolving clinical guidance, and support the design and implementation of new ways of working across all partners, including the NHS, local authorities and the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector.

Main duties of the job

You will work with the Cancer Lead for the ICB and be part of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance, offering the opportunity to share and learn innovative and successful practice across our four places.

We are committed to putting our residents at the heart of what we do, listening to people with lived experience, understanding their needs and co-designing solutions that work best for our communities. A geographically large and diverse footprint, we support residents across coastal and rural areas, with a mixture of affluent and highly deprived populations. We are keen to adopt innovative solutions that support our residents to stay well and our workforce to be most effective.

You should be a registered clinician, currently practicing in a partner organisation within the Morecambe Bay geography. You will have exceptional communication skills and the confidence to develop working relationships across professions and sectors. Passionate about improving care and outcomes, you should have a strong, demonstrable understanding of current national health and care aims and policies in relation to cancer care and of the planning and provision of cancer services; knowledge of local cancer pathways; and knowledge and experience of working in/with general practice.
