Here at LPFT, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.
We employ around 2,700 staff who are pivotal in our success.
Do you want to join a Trust rated by our own staff as one of the best mental health trusts in England, located in a county heralded as a fantastic place to live and work?
We provide mental health, learning disability and autism services to a local population of over 755,000 across 45 sites, as well as specialist services for children and young people.
We are a forward-looking Trust and want to recruit someone who not only has impeccable clinical credentials, but someone who is strongly aligned to our vision, values, and behaviours. Equally important is that we need a person who will champion mental health, learning disability and autism services – to reduce health inequalities and deliver better access, experience, and outcomes for the populations we serve.
We need a compassionate, inclusive, and inspirational Medical Director who will ensure that all our highly valued workforce feels a true sense of belonging. Our teams need to be aligned and integrated – working together with integrity and mutual respect to learn and get the best out of each other’s skills and capabilities.
We are a Trust that embraces transformation and innovation. The MD will need to play a key part in advocating new workforce roles, new digital ways of working and new care models where they improve patient outcomes and experience.
This role may suit someone who is already an established medical director keen to join a successful organisation, but equally the Trust would welcome applications from associate medical directors, deputy medical directors or clinical directors running large divisions looking to take the next step in their career. This post provides an excellent development opportunity.
The post is offered as a full-time role, with clinical practice undertaken up to one day per week.
