Aligned to the NHS Ten year health plan, the opportunity to deliver a comprehensive change to the way the Trust works with its partners to deliver care, providing integrated mental health services that are inclusive and accessible, supporting people's mental health needs and enabling them to live well in their community.

The postholder will lead a large, multi-disciplinary team, to implement the agreed transformed community care model, whilst needing to flex the approach to account for locality differences in demand and staffing. This will involve working with operational and clinical leads from across the Trust, and working closely with people with lived experience, carers, staff representatives and commissioners.

• Lead the design, planning, and execution of GMMH's community transformation programme, including exiting of a number of Section 75 agreements with local authorities.
• Build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders including commissioners, operational and clinical teams and partner organisations.
• Effectively engage service users and service user groups in the development of proposals.
• Provide expert advice and assurance to senior stakeholders and GMMH's Board of Directors.
• Effectively manage delivery team to ensure delivery of milestones within agreed timescales and budgets, managing risks as necessary.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, learning, and collaboration.
• Ensure appropriate training, development, and performance management.
• Represent the Trust at regional and national forums.
