This is a pivotal role at the heart of one of the UK’s largest and most ambitious NHS Trusts. Reporting to the Chief Delivery Officer, you will lead the development and delivery of MFT’s performance and planning agenda—ensuring we meet and exceed national standards while delivering outstanding care to our diverse communities.

You will be responsible for shaping and implementing the Trust’s Delivery Oversight Framework, leading operational planning, and directly overseeing our cancer and urgent care coordination teams. Your leadership will directly influence how we manage capacity, reduce waiting times, and improve patient access across all MFT sites.

We are looking for a strategic thinker with a proven track record of senior leadership in the NHS, deep expertise in performance improvement, and the ability to inspire and engage clinical and operational teams. You will bring analytical rigour, political acumen, and a collaborative approach to a role that is both challenging and deeply rewarding.

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.
