Working closely with senior clinicians, managers, and local public health teams, you will oversee strategic initiatives aimed at creating equitable, preventative, and population health-based care models.
This highly technical role involves advancing existing services like the Children and Young People’s Health Partnership and developing new care models to address unmet needs. The role requires strong clinical experience, leadership skills, and a collaborative approach to effect positive change in health outcomes.

• Develop an evidence-based framework to prioritize clinical services, focusing on health promotion, early intervention, secondary prevention, and access to care for priority populations.
• Engage clinical leaders, managers, commissioners, and patient/public involvement groups to plan and support service transformation.
• Advocate for integrated working across primary and secondary care for GSTT’s patients and populations.
• Champion population health and equity practice and research at GSTT, including publications and collaborations with KHP and KCL.
• Support the Deputy Chief Medical Officer (Healthcare Public Health) in providing population health clinical expertise to the CMO and Trust leadership.
• Ensure a robust clinical-academic approach to evaluate the impact of population health-based approaches on outcomes and the sustainability of clinical services.
• Ensure the long-term sustainability of the Population Health Management Hub beyond the charity grant duration.
• Support other population health activities across the Trust and King’s Health Partners, such as data-led health improvement and health equity initiatives.
• Collaborate with partners in place-based partnerships, primary care, and local authorities to support a prevention-based approach across the system.
• Build population health-based clinical capacity and capability across the Trust.
