Summary
This is an outstanding opportunity for a highly credible GP/medical/dental leader with a passion for integrated community working to join our forward-thinking Clinical Group, Senior Leadership Team. With a strong track record in governance, safety, integrating services and clinical effectiveness, you will provide senior clinical leadership for our Manchester and Trafford Local Care Organisations (LCOs) and the University Dental Hospital of Manchester (UDHM). Critically, you will promote research, innovation and education that will make our services fit for the future, and in doing so, put your career on an exciting trajectory.
With a commitment to system and organisational excellence, you will ensure that new models of community care are clinically safe, support best practice and are sustainable for changing patterns of delivery, fostering high levels of clinical involvement, joint working focused on delivering the best outcomes for patients and people.
What is more, with a track record of leading service improvement in a community environment and working collaboratively across systems, you will maintain credibility and influence with clinical colleagues in the Clinical Group, across MFT, in Greater Manchester and nationally.
If you have the right skills, experience, values and attitude to meet the needs and demands of the role, let us tell you more about what the job involves and why this could be your next and best career move.
• Bringing your wealth of experience as a clinical leader, you will make our LCOs and UDHM synonymous with quality, safety, and clinical effectiveness. This includes providing advice on developing our community services and making sure other leaders stay focused on innovation, patient safety and better outcomes for our patients.
• Providing professional leadership to the medical and dental workforce across the Clinical Group, you will lead on GP, medical and dental workforce planning, recruitment, productivity employee relations, promoting diversity, equality and creating a sense of belonging.
• Additionally, you will act as a role model for other medical leaders across MFT, securing confidence and credibility with teams as well as external stakeholders and our local communities.
• Guiding us through challenging decisions, sometimes in the face of opposition, you will ensure we act in the best interests of patient safety and patient experience.
• Using your exceptional communication and collaboration skills, you will help reconfigure our services to put patients at the centre of everything we do, working with other MFT medical leaders.
• Lastly, it goes without saying, you will demonstrate MFT values and behaviours, striving to continuously set and maintain the highest standards for both you and your team, whilst motivating and inspiring others to achieve these.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England with a turnover of £2.8bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
