Description
Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust provides a wide range of inpatient and community-based mental health care to people living in Bolton, the city of Manchester, city of Salford, Trafford and Wigan and a wide range of specialist mental health and addiction services across Greater Manchester and beyond. We are one of the largest specialist Mental Health Trusts in England, employing around 7,500 members of staff with c.£523 million annual income, delivering services from more than 109 locations including hospital sites, community facilities and in prisons. Promoting parity of esteem for mental health with physical health, we are shifting our focus to prevention, early intervention, and resilience in our communities, to deliver a sustainable and integrated mental health system through collaboratively working with our partners across Greater Manchester.
Reporting to Karen Howell OBE our new Chief Executive, our Chief Finance Officer will play a central leadership role in our Trust and on our Board. Following high profile failings in our services, we are currently in segment 4 of the National Oversight Framework and with a refreshed and highly supportive executive team, we are already demonstrating significant progress on our improvement and recovery journey. This is a career defining opportunity to gain unique experience working together with our Board and our dedicated colleagues to deliver sustained change for our staff, service users and communities. We are committed to our vision to improve lives and support optimistic futures; developing and delivering a strategy that is aligned to the wider ambitions of our stakeholders.
For this pivotal position, we are keen to hear from inclusive leaders with Board level or equivalent experience and a track record of strong financial leadership and partnership working in comparable and complex health and care settings. You will be a compassionate and resilient leader; a team player and clear communicator with the drive and positivity to energise and support our progression. With strong political acumen, you will quickly build credibility and confidence with our board, Governors, staff, partners, regulators and service users and share our passion to work together. This will be a challenging and rewarding role, an opportunity to learn and grow with a refreshed and dynamic team; making a lasting difference to the health and wellbeing of people we serve now and in the future.
