Summary
Are you interested in contributing a commercial perspective towards reducing inequalities and improving the health of the populations we serve?
Do you have a passion for developing bids and business cases to deliver efficient and high quality mental health, community health, wellbeing and inpatient services? Then we have a great opportunity to join the Business Development team.
We are looking to recruit a creative and adaptable Business Development Manager. This role would suit individuals with the ability to work
proactively to build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
You will be embedded in the Commercial Development Directorate and work in collaboration with our Contracts team as well as with our frontline clinical service staff, service users and operational leads across ELFT, giving you a good overview of the whole system.
As a Business Development Manager you will be responsible for developing bids and business cases for new growth and for the
reconfiguration of existing services in line with Trust requirements, which will require high levels of organisation, strong writing skills, and proven
experience in business development, bid management, project management or similar.
This is a varied role, with no two days the same, and therefore you should be resourceful and adaptable to thrive in this environment. This will be
a central coordinating role and therefore being a strong communicator is a must.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
Please refer to the job description and person specification attached to this vacancy which detail the purpose and key responsibilities of the role.
