Crynodeb
We’re looking for a creative, tenacious, accomplished and kind communications expert who can help us join up our story telling across internal and external audiences, advise our executive leaders on engaging busy teams and colleagues with vital organisational change, and demonstrate the case-clinching evidence that communications expertise is a key part of NHS business.
You will play a key role in helping deliver Trust-wide campaigns that engage staff in improving safety and performance, reduce disparities in health care and outcomes, and build an authentic sense of belonging and development as staff learn and grow. You will provide both strategic and tactical advice to senior leaders relating to key issues and priorities, so being able to secure trust and confidence from priority customers from day 1 is a must.
In addition to the broader change happening in the NHS and our Trust-specific change programmes, our team is embedding efficiency improvements alongside delivering business as usual, so being comfortable with iterative implementation is a must. This role is currently for 6 months, to allow the flexibility that we might need as changes unfold.
We've got a voice at the top table and are determined to use it to live up to the high expectations our community and colleagues have got for us. Come and help us make north London better. Better mental health. Better lives. Better communities.
This postholder will provide the first point of contact as team's "account manager" for key exec-led programmes of work and organisational priority campaigns, including:
• CEO Connect- a multi-channel/product suite of chief executive-led communications activity, including interactive monthly webinars, quarterly 'town hall' style roadshow events, and topical blogs which support the Trust's growing thought-leadership activity in the mental health sector
• Supporting the roll-out, understanding and adoption of the North London Way, a combined cultural and continuous improvement methodology programme, built on our Trust values and commitment to adopting a quality improvement approach in our work
• Overseeing the effective delivery of communications and engagement support for essential Trust-wide programmes such as winter vaccination, staff surveys, organisational development programmes such as wellbeing support and staff networks.
North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) is committed to improving mental health care across North London to deliver excellent services to our local people.
Our Five-Year Strategy:
1. We will provide consistently high-quality care closer to home.
2. With our partners in North London and each borough we will ensure equity of outcome for all
3. We will offer great places to work, providing staff with supportive environment to deliver outstanding care.
4. We will be more effective as an organisation by pioneering research, quality improvement and technology.

The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or permanent basis.
