About the role
Over the next year, we are expecting around 5 of our existing contracts to come up for re-tender. We are determined to position ourselves to be in the best possible place to sustain these and support the mental health needs of our communities.
Achieving this goal will require our services to actively demonstrate that they respond to the needs of both our communities and commissioners; meet both best practice guidelines and possibilities for greater service integration, whilst also delivering best value. This role will help achieve this goal through identifying opportunities for service transformation. As new service models and projects are developed, the role will also work alongside our operational Heads of Service to effectively and sustainably roll out change.
About you
You have knowledge and understanding of working in the mental health space. An experienced change leader and project manager who is interested in working with us to improve future ways of working. A strategic thinker who can build partnerships and collaboration, but is just as comfortable getting into the detail and using data analysis and process mapping expertise to help services get ready for change. Ideally you will have tender experience (from working with the NHS).
