Chief People Officer

This is a pivotal moment for Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. We are embarking on a significant journey of improvement and transformation, creating an organisation where we live our vision of providing great places for care and great places to work..

To help us achieve that ambition, we are seeking an exceptional Chief People Officer to join our Board and Executive Team.

As Chief People Officer, you will be far more than the leader of a People function. You will help shape the future of GMMH, creating culture, leadership and workforce that will enable us to deliver exceptional care and in an environment where colleagues truly thrive, and in doing so can provide the very best care for our communities.

Creating an inclusive culture is hugely important to me personally. I want GMMH to be a place where everyone feels able to bring their whole self to work. When people feel they belong, they do their best work, and that ultimately leads to better care for the communities we serve.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you will play a central role in driving organisational improvement and long-term sustainability.

You will champion a culture that is ambitious, inclusive, compassionate and accountable, ensuring our values are evident in everything we do. Working across Greater Manchester and beyond, you will influence workforce strategy at place, system and regional level, helping shape the future of mental health services.

This is a role for a leader who thrives on challenge, embraces complexity and sees culture and leadership as critical levers for improving patient care.

Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) Foundation Trust employs over 7000 members of staff, who deliver services from more than 122 locations.

We provide inpatient and community-based mental health care for people living in Bolton, the city of Manchester, Salford, Trafford and the borough of Wigan, and a wide range of specialist mental health and substance misuse services across Greater Manchester, the north west of England and beyond.

Greater Manchester is one of the world's most innovative, original and exciting places to live and work. From the beauty of the surrounding countryside to the heart of the vibrant inner city with great shopping, entertainment and dining options.

Wherever you go you will experience a great northern welcome with people famed for their warmth, humour and generosity.

Our people enjoy their work, have opportunities to learn and develop their skills and are encouraged to generate new ideas that improve care for our service users.
