Team Administrator
On 1 July 2022, NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) was established. The ICB is part of North Central London Integrated Care System (ICS). The ICS is a partnership of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives of people in our five boroughs: Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.
ICBs are statutory NHS bodies responsible for planning and allocating resources to meet the four core purposes of ICSs:- to improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
- tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
- enhance productivity and value for money
- help the NHS support broader social and economic development.
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 are committed to recruiting a workforce which is reflective of our diverse population, where individual contributions are encouraged and valued. We welcome and encourage applications from all candidates regardless of age, race, sex or gender identity, religious beliefs, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, caring status or neurodiversity.
