Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust at a pivotal point in our improvement journey.

We have recently created a new executive post of Chief Performance, Improvement & Transformation Officer, bringing together our focus on performance, improvement and transformation.

You will ensure that the voices and experiences of service users, carers and our colleagues shape what we do. You will build strong partnerships with the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board, local authorities, NHS partners, the voluntary and community sector and our wider communities.
