Job overview

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and one of the largest providers of Cancer Care in GM.

These posts will play a key role in supporting the delivery of the cancer improvement collaborative, developing significant improvement projects to support our continued improvement trajectory and ensure that current ways of working begin the journey towards a new and modern healthcare setting.

The successful post holder will have a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape and be able to interpret and analyse complex information in service of evidence-based improvement. Successful candidates will thrive in a team-oriented environment but should also be capable of working independently, leading every aspect of a transformation project or programme.
