The Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust have undergone an exciting change.
By pulling together a Single Corporate Services Division across both Trusts we will streamline processes, improve employee experience, and return time to patient care.
In light of this change, we are seeking an experienced Commercial Business Partner to leverage their expertise in supporting the development and implementation of the Trust’s Commercial Strategy.
The ideal candidate will possess outstanding commercial acumen in business case development, complemented by strong communication and interpersonal skills, enabling them to build effective relationships with key stakeholders. This individual will represent the Commercial Director and Deputy Commercial Director, collaborating closely with designated internal divisions to identify and implement commercially innovative solutions that align with the strategic objectives of the Trust.
Candidates must be highly organised and self-motivated, capable of managing a complex workload while supporting both the Commercial Director and Deputy Commercial Director. They should excel in prioritising and balancing multiple meetings and competing demands from both internal and external stakeholders.
Furthermore, the successful candidate should be proficient in leading and managing complex stakeholder groups to achieve results within tight deadlines, ensuring alignment with both divisional and Trust strategic goals. They will be responsible for maintaining accuracy and consistency in progress and governance reporting while providing ownership and guidance across a range of projects and initiatives. This includes documenting and presenting critical business information and identifying risks that require immediate attention.
Our vision for Single Corporate Services
Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT) and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) have a shared vision of a single corporate service across our two organisations, supported by a single set of identical systems and processes, under joint leadership, to drive significant efficiencies, improve employee experience, and return time to patient care.
This vacancy is part of the Single Corporate Services Division.
Why are we changing the way we deliver Corporate Services?
Working as a partnership, both IWT and PHU have a shared vision for excellence in care for our patients and communities; with a set of strategic aims underpinning how we will achieve this. The creation of a single corporate service is essential for us to support our clinical and operational services, and our wider transformation programme.
The single corporate service is delivered across both organisation. You may be based at either IWT or PHU and individuals may be required to undertake business travel between sites. For leaders managing staff across multi-site locations, you will need to be visible and provide in person leadership. The arrangements and frequency will be agreed locally.
Key Responsibilities
• Provide strategic advice and guidance on Commercial matters at a senior level within the organisation up to and including executive/board level working alongside the trust’s Commercial Director.
• Provide professional leadership and advice on all aspects of Commercial matters to other CFO directorate staff, senior managers and Directors of the Trust.
