A provider of mental health and learning disability services and physical health services in the community we employ over 7,000 members of staff operating in more than 400 sites with an annual budget of over £350 million.
We are on an exciting journey of improvement, with significant investment being made in mental health and learning disability services and a new leadership structure aligned to our systems’ ICPs. We are committed to leading the integration of physical health, mental health, and social care services locally to deliver improved population health and tackle health inequalities.
The Deputy Chief People Officer and Director of Organisational Development (OD) & Inclusion role will report in to our Chief People Officer.
This is a broad strategic role, with significant Board exposure and responsibility for the design and delivery of a diverse and inclusive workplace and culture, an approach to health and wellbeing that improves employee health and experience and a progressive organisation development programme that enables a culture of adaptive change, compassionate leadership, employee engagement and psychological safety. Joining us as we make significant progress on our ambitious transformation journey, this role will ensure that we create a great place to work and learn.
