The post holder will support the Deputy CoCO in developing a comprehensive and integrated demand, resource and performance forecasting system which supports high performance and continuous improvement by developing and establishing a systematic approach to demand and capacity linked to performance measurement, reporting and improvement. The Trust delivers services across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. It is developing a new centralised approach to Planning and Resourcing based on industry best practice. Our vision is underpinned by four goals:

• Be an exceptional place to work, volunteer and learn
• Provide outstanding quality of care and performance
• Be excellent collaborators and innovators as system partners
• Be an environmentally and financially sustainable organisation
We will aim to make the Trust a place where all who work and access our services are free from all forms of discrimination and where the diversity of our staff patients, visitors and service-users is recognised as a key driver of our success and is openly valued and celebrated.
