Having recently brought together a single Improvement Team, we are looking to recruit an experienced Head of Improvement to join us on the next phase of our improvement journey and to support the organisation to improve health outcomes and experiences for our patients/carers and staff. The role will be aligned to one of the six clinical groups within MFT, leading a small team of Improvement Advisors and Support Officers and collaborating with corporate and Clinical Group teams to plan and deliver agreed improvement priorities.
The Head of Improvement is a key member of the Improvement Leadership Team. Championing improvement and transformation, you will set the tone for change by spurring enthusiasm for the overall improvement agenda. You will bring your improvement and leadership knowledge and experience to lead the delivery of the clinical group's improvement programme, which targets measurable enhancements in service quality, operations, workforce efficiency, and financial performance.
Leadership responsibilities include managing the Clinical Group Improvement Team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and ensuring alignment with MFT’s strategic goals and values. The role also involves engaging with stakeholders to set the direction of improvement programmes, managing complex analysis and decision-making, and contributing to the development of communication strategies.
Applicants will be improvement experts having gained experience ideally in an NHS organisation. An enthusiastic individual with an inquisitive mind, we are looking for candidates motivated by pace, scale, and creativity who can identify innovative ways to develop systems, processes, and people to achieve effective levels of performance, effectiveness, and engagement.
This role offers an outstanding opportunity to an experienced improvement leader who can support the Trust's teams to help create change and translate our improvement and transformational aspirations into practical actions and results for our people.
