The Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership and NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care are helping organisations work better together with people and communities.

We want people across all our boroughs to stay well, whatever their age, and whatever issues or conditions they might be managing.

We're bringing together all the different organisations that support people's health and social care, so that services can join up and act faster when people need support.

Integrated care means starting with the person, understanding they'll have different needs as they move through life, and connecting them with the right care.

We work with all ten Local Authorities, NHS organisations across Greater Manchester, social care providers, voluntary and community sector organisations, and national bodies to deliver these positive outcomes.

The Adult Social Care Workforce Transformation Programme seeks to put identified workforce priorities into action to create an integrated workforce facilitated to deliver excellent care and support, through enriched roles, increased aspiration and a common vision of providing first class, person-centred care.

The post holder will work as part of the Adult Social Care programme team and provide support to the Workforce and Care Academy Programme.
