Kernow Health CIC is seeking two ambitious and experienced Neighbourhood Health Programme Managers to help lead the development and delivery of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) across East Cornwall.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in transforming how health, care and community services work together to improve outcomes for local people.
