Our Organisation
The NHS is building a culture that is positive, compassionate and inclusive – and we all have our part to play.
As employers we are committed to protecting and promoting the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all our colleagues. This underpins our values as set out in the NHS Constitution and supports us to be an Employer of Choice, while helping our colleagues to deliver high quality services for our patients and communities.
As a flexible employer, we want to support you to work in a way that is best for the NHS, our patients and you. Talk to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s a job share, part time, hybrid working or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have a ‘home’ office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
Job overview
The NHS has committed to do more, so that all autistic people and people with a learning disability can live happier, healthier, longer lives. This includes supporting people who can become highly distressed, and others who may be vulnerable, to have their own home, with or near their families. Our Senior Housing Lead supports colleagues in the wider NHS, Councils and housing providers across Yorkshire and the Humber, to deliver more housing options for autistic people and people with a learning disability. This support spans strategic planning and developing partnerships for delivery. It includes enabling colleagues to utilise the NHS capital programme, in partnership with Senior Housing Leads from across England. It encompasses direct support for commissioners, so they can identify or develop homes for people delayed in hospital.
Main duties of the job
- The post holder will work strategically with local health and social care commissioner and housing partners to support ICBs to understand their local housing needs and communicate these through local market position statements and local housing strategies.
- The post holder will support the delivery of the national NHS capital programme by communicating available NHS capital resources to both commissioners and housing providers and helping partners to identify opportunities to make best use of NHS capital.
- The post holder will support individual ICBs by working with individual commissioners to help identify suitable accommodation options in particularly challenging cases, where accommodation is a key barrier to discharge of a patient from hospital or where it is a key contributory factor to a potential admission to hospital.
Working for our organisation
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
- Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
- Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.
- Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
- Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
- Delivering value for money.
