Purpose of the Post

The IHA Service Lead will be a member of the IHA management team – this team will be collectively responsible for leading and enabling integrated work practices and cross service working at all levels within the IHA to serve the needs of their local population.

· The IHA Service Lead is accountable for the delivery of a defined portfolio of services, focusing on safety and quality to meet population needs and regulatory requirements.

· Given the focus on geographic delivery of services within the IHA, this role will carry functional responsibility for driving cross service integration at IHA level (and regional level as appropriate), with a focus on professional governance, standards, regulation and Networks of Care.

· By virtue of the seniority and associated responsibilities afforded to the role at IHA level the IHA Service Lead carries the authority to provide oversight of designated Networks of Care / care group processes within the IHA working collaboratively with IHA Management Team colleagues in this regard.

· The post holder will be required to contribute at IHA, Health Region and national levels in line with the duties and responsibilities outlined below.

Key responsibilities in collaboration with the IHA Manager and associated management team will be delivered through a collective leadership approach and will include:

· Being accountable and responsible for the delivery of a designated portfolio of services at IHA and / or Health Region level including assigned regulated services. The role will also include providing oversight and assurance for regulated services aligned to agreed portfolio.

· Playing a key support role to deliver the large-scale changes required to realise the implementation of the integrated service delivery model and associated governance arrangements.

· Taking a leadership and oversight role for *defined care group(s) at IHA or Health Region level, including driving integration through relevant **Network(s) of Care.

· Leading the process of relationship, performance and contract management with key partner organisations relevant to portfolio of work.

*Note on service assignments and portfolio structure: decision making on the assignment of lead responsibilities for specific care groups / Networks of Care / service groupings across Mental Health, Disability, Older Persons, etc. will be made by the REO and IHA Managers in the context of locally agreed needs and priorities. In some instances, portfolios will include a combination of service responsibilities i.e. Older Persons and Disability Services. These allocations may change and evolve based on service needs.

**Networks of Care are also subject to change based on further development and refinement in line with the emerging clinical governance framework including assignment of clinical leads and other associated support roles.
