Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.

Brent Council and NHS Brent Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community. The CCG and the Council vision is to improve the quality of health care for local people and commission high quality service provision to meet local needs. We have a young, dynamic and ethnically diverse population, which is relatively deprived. Our commitment is to commission excellent quality services that ensure value for money and the best possible outcomes for those who use them so it is an exciting time to join us.

NHS Brent Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) comprises 66 member practices which are organised into five localities: We are one of the largest CCGs in North West London, meeting the needs of circa 350,000 registered patients. The CCG is responsible for the planning, organising and purchasing of £450m worth of healthcare locally.

The CCG commissions healthcare activity from a wide range of providers – the majority of acute Hospital activity is undertaken at London North West Healthcare NHS Trust, for which we are the host commissioner and Imperial College Hospitals. The major provider of mental health services is Central North West London Hospital and the major provider of community services is London North West Healthcare NHS Trust - Brent Community Services.

Over recent years, Brent Council has undergone major transformation, and this continues with a programme of unprecedented structural and organisational change designed to meet the financial challenges facing the public sector. We remain committed however to deliver high quality services while driving efficiency and cutting waste and bureaucracy and to driving forward service excellence, urban regeneration and community cohesion whilst recognising that we cannot ignore the financial reality of providing public services in this challenging financial climate. The Council has recently brought together adult social care, housing, public health and cultural services into a single Community Wellbeing Department, with the aim of improving health and well-being outcomes for our residents, particularly better targeting resources towards support for vulnerable people.
