With Karen Howell, Chief Executive at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust

Thank you for your interest in Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and in this exciting board position of significant seniority in our leadership team, as our Director of Corporate Affairs and Risk Management.

I joined the Trust as Chief Executive in June and have been inspired each day by the dedication and commitment of our colleagues. I am excited about the huge potential that our organisation has, to deliver our ambitious programme of recovery and transformation. This is a fantastic opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a lasting difference to the health and wellbeing of the people we serve and I am excited to see how your leadership can help us achieve our goals.

We are already demonstrating significant progress and this position will be a crucial leadership role in our ongoing journey.
