MFT is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in England with over 30,000 staff, 5-7000 trainees and a turnover of £2.8bn. We are by definition a big and complex organisation on a different scale to most other NHS trusts and we are viewed as an organisation of national significance.
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced medical leader with a track record in consistently delivering clinical effectiveness and patient safety to join our Board of Directors as Joint Chief Medical Officer. This is a pivotal role to our future success as we push to improve the care and services for the communities that we serve and the ideal candidate will provide inspirational leadership, with strong values that match ours and role model an unwavering drive to deliver the strategic ambition of the Trust as an anchor organisation in healthcare for Manchester, Trafford and beyond.
We are looking for an individual with significant recent clinical and leadership experience, ideally gained within a large complex Teaching Trust who is able to demonstrate the ability to deliver clinical effectiveness and ongoing improvements to patient safety. Effective teamwork will ideally be central to the successful delivery of our Organisational Strategy, with a style and approach which is consistent with our values.
As a key member of the Executive team, you will provide strategic and operational advice to the Trust Chief Executive and the Board of Directors and be expected to deliver on a range of clinical / patient safety and related objectives. You will provide highly visible leadership to the medical and dental workforce across all Trust sites, engaging and empowering them to achieve excellence in the delivery of patient care.
Our Joint Chief Medical Officers lead a wide-ranging portfolio with diverse responsibilities across key areas including, but not limited to, clinical governance and patient safety, appraisal and revalidation and professional matters, research and innovation, medical education and medical workforce.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
If this appeals to you and you think you have the skills, expertise and motivation to succeed, we would be delighted to hear from you.
