Partnership roles to support the delivery of the Leeds Health and Care Plan
The successful delivery of Leeds Plan is a critical aspect of meeting the local and national priorities around health improvement, tackling inequality and a sustainable health system that meets financial balance. The appointment of a central team will allow Leeds to progress our priorities further and faster in Leeds and also in relation to our leadership role across the region.
Adults and Health will act as the host for these roles on behalf of the health and care partnership in Leeds with all statutory partners contributing the cost on a fair shares basis. LCC’s fair shares contribution towards the new roles is estimated to be £86,312.

Consultation process
The proposals have been consulted on with the leadership of the Council, Executive Members and with key partners.
Close engagement with LCC HR has been sought and HR is also involved in devising and recruiting to the new posts.
Trade Unions have also been consulted on the proposals. They sought clarification on whether they would be advertised internally or externally. It was confirmed that they would go to external advert as they were partnership posts and therefore needed to be open to all partner employees
