Crynodeb

Manchester Foundation Trust (MFT) Charity raises funds for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust's family of ten hospitals and community services including Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary and Wythenshawe Hospital.

We are looking for a talented, passionate and committed communicator to join our team and make an immediate and sustainable impact.

With a trust-based approach, we will readily consider flexible working patterns. With core hours of 10am – 4pm, and a minimum requirement of two days in the office per week, most of our team choose to work on a hybrid home/office basis.

Excellent benefits include:
• NHS pension scheme
• 27 days annual leave per year, rising to 29 days after five years continuous service and 33 days after 10. (Annual leave will be pro rata-ed to the duration of the contract.)
• Access to carer’s leave
• Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption leave
• Onsite nursery
• Eligibility to purchase a Blue Light card and for many NHS discount schemes
• Initiatives by the Trust's dedicated staff Health and Wellbeing team

The post holder will be responsible for managing the Charity’s press and media activity, including the development of proactive PR activity alongside the development of wider marketing content to support the charity’s strategic objectives. This role is also responsible for the management of the Charity's roster of celebrity supporters and patient case studies.

To succeed in this role, you will be a highly organised individual with an ability to thrive under pressure and have a proven, results-based track record of working in a PR or journalism role. A team player, you must be confident communicating with stakeholders at all levels, possess excellent attention to detail and a facilitative, can-do approach to working across multiple projects at any one time.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of over £3bn & 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.



At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
