An exciting new opportunity has arisen within Strategic Planning team!
The postholder will be responsible for co-ordinating the development and delivery of a leadership and culture programme within the Trust. There will be a particular focus on embedding sustainable change through change management tools and utilising improvement and programme management methodologies to support this programme of work. There will be a particular focus on working in partnership with Organisational Development across all Trust functions.
This is an important role within the Improvement & Partnerships Directorate involving close collaboration with quality colleagues, workforce, organisational development, operational and clinical staff across the Trust. It will require effective engagement with internal and external stakeholders to deliver and embed several sustainable actions associated with culture, diversity and inclusion. It is a high-profile programme of work across the trust with the Chief Executive Officer as the Senior Responsible Officer (SRO).
The Strategic Programme Manager will have experience in the delivery of complex programmes involving improvement and organisational development and will therefore have detailed knowledge and skills in programme and project management, change management and improvement methodologies.
Engage with the Chief Executive Officer, Head of Organisational Development, Service Directors and the wider executive team to support the planning, development and delivery of the programme. The Strategic Programme Manager will also need to implement strategies that will support colleagues through change in collaboration with organisational development specialists.
We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.
About
The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:
- 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
- 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
- 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
- 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative
Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
