Chief Finance Officer | Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust

Introduction from the Chief Executive, Karen Howell.

I joined the Trust as Chief Executive in June and have been inspired each day by the dedication and commitment of our colleagues. I am excited about the huge potential that our organisation has to deliver our ambitious programme of recovery and transformation. This role is a fantastic opportunity to bring your financial leadership skills and experience to make a lasting difference to the health and wellbeing of the people we serve and I am excited to see how your leadership can help us achieve our goals.

This role comes at a critical time as we rebuild our Board and seek to deliver on our Improvement Plan, which outlines the steps we're taking to address significant failings in our quality, safety and governance. Although we are still in segment 4 of the National Oversight Framework, we are demonstrating significant progress on our improvement journey and we are looking for an ambitious and collaborative CFO to make their mark; joining our dedicated team as we continue to work in partnership with our system to deliver the transformation that our staff, service users and communities deserve.

Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) Foundation Trust employs over 7000 members of staff, who deliver services from more than 160 locations.

We provide inpatient and community-based mental health care for people living in Bolton, the city of Manchester, Salford, Trafford and the borough of Wigan, and a wide range of specialist mental health and substance misuse services across Greater Manchester, the north west of England and beyond.

Greater Manchester is one of the world's most innovative, original and exciting places to live and work. From the beauty of the surrounding countryside to the heart of the vibrant inner city with great shopping, entertainment and dining options.

Wherever you go you will experience a great northern welcome with people famed for their warmth, humour and generosity.

Our people enjoy their work, have opportunities to learn and develop their skills and are encouraged to generate new ideas that improve care for our service users.
