Description

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board
AACC Reviewing Clinician (clinical)
The closing date is 18 November 2026

Job summary
The publication of the Governments 10-Year Health Plan: Fit for the Future sets out an ambitious agenda for the health of the population and for the NHS. As part of that ambition, it makes clear that every system requires an Integrated Care Board that will function as the strategic commissioner of local health services, responsible for all but the most specialised commissioning, using multi-year budgets to drive improvement. This means ensuring that the money available to our local health and care system is put to the best possible use: to improve the local population's health, reduce health inequalities and improve access to consistently high-quality services.

The NHS needs commissioners who can better understand the health and care needs of their local populations, who can work with users, providers and wider communities and partners to develop strategies to improve health and tackle inequalities and who can contract with providers to ensure consistently high-quality, safe and efficient care. Improving access and waiting times, in particular against NHS constitutional standards, will continue to be core indicators of whether population needs are being met.

At the same time, we have a collective responsibility to reduce cost and become as effective as possible through reducing duplication and being clear on our core purpose. It is clear that there is much to do.

Main duties of the job
The All Age Continuing Care Assessor works as part of the All Age Continuing Care (AACC) team to lead and deliver high-quality eligibility assessments. All Age Continuing Care includes the following functions:
  • Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

  • Fast Track (FT)
  • Joint-Funded (JF)
  • Integrated Care
  • Children's Continuing Care
  • Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
  • Section 117 after-care (S117)
  • Transforming Care Programme (TCP)
  • Individualised commissioning arrangements.
The postholder will be expected to work across the breadth of specialties according to their competency levels. A caseload will be allocated to the postholder that is within their clinical competence.
The role requires clinical knowledge and understanding of relevant legislation, frameworks and processes, expert assessment skills, with the ability to assess a defined caseload of individuals with complex physical, mental health, learning disability and/or neurodiverse needs

About us
Our goal as a clustered ICB is to lead and support delivery of the four Integrated Care System (ICS) aims across the geographies of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent:
  • Improving outcomes in population health and care

  • Enhancing productivity and value for money

Please note that the Cluster ICB has consulted with its workforce on changes to contractual base locations and hybrid working arrangements and is implementing a consistent hybrid working model across the Cluster. The new arrangements are intended to support closer and more collaborative working across the Cluster ICB, through a consistent approach to hybrid working and the use of designated office locations.
