Summary
Thank you for considering Mersey Care to be you next employer. We are a Foundation Trust that is really going places. We are passionate about the care that we provide to all our patients, service users and their families. We strive to deliver Perfect Care across a range of disciplines including mental health, physical health community services and learning disabilities. Our workforce of over 12,000 professionals are committed, skilled and bring enthusiasm and innovation to their daily work.
You've heard the story about a stick of Blackpool Rock? You break it and the message runs all the way through. Well, we are looking for a new member of our Organisational Effectiveness Team - someone who "gets" OD and knows the impact it has when done well across an organisation.
The post holder will act as a Organisational Effectiveness Practitioner (Band 7) and work across our broad range of OD programmes (culture, leadership, engagement, anti racism). They will deliver team based OD interventions across our wide range of Clinical and Trust Support services, as well as support large scale transformation.
We are looking for someone who has experience of delivering OD interventions at team level as well as delivering trust wide programmes of work. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of delivering OD projects as well as a passion for the work we do that helps foster cultures of belonging and inclusion.
We are proud of our work on Restorative Just & Learning Culture and Anti Racism and we're looking for someone to help us move into the next phases of this development. We have a big job ahead of us to support the redesign of our organisation and will need someone who can demonstrate significant experience of working at this level in the organisation and into the wider health care system.
Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.
We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
To work with the Senior OE Practitioners to develop and deliver organisational development plans and interventions to meet the organisational needs of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust.
To deliver our internal leadership development programmes, providing expert facilitation, coaching and support to different levels of leadership across the Trust.

To facilitate and develop team interventions and programmes of change which deliver quality improvements and efficiencies whilst supporting workforce development.
To regularly communicate with and gain the engagement of all staff across the organisation to understand key issues and problems and support local or secure services to identify and implement solutions.
The role involves a mix of home working and on site, the post holder will be required to travel to different Mersey Care locations.
