In 2025, the boards of NHS South East London ICB and NHS South West London ICB entered into a clustering arrangement.

This also means that the ICBs will share some teams, who will be working across both organisations. Some teams will also be working across both geographical areas and integrated care systems.

This is a period of change for the NHS. The Government’s 10 Year Health Plan presents an ambitious vision for a future NHS, with emphasis on the three ‘shifts’ – from hospital to community, from analogue to digital, and from cure to prevention – all underpinning the new neighbourhood health service.

ICBs are also changing, with a clear focus on strategic commissioning and delivering neighbourhood working.

This is an exciting time to work within our ICBs. We currently have the opportunity both to shape the future of our clustered organisations, and to be part of a radical transformation of care for the local people and communities across south London.

Please note as you can only be employed by one ICB, this job description refers to ‘the ‘ICB’, but your role may cover both ICB organisations, and / or geographical areas.

Equality and diversity

The ICB is committed to providing services and employment to a community with an increasing variety of backgrounds. To do this effectively it is essential that we promote equality and embrace diversity and treat everyone with dignity and respect. This includes a focus on building a just culture.
