WELCOME

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for making time to look into joining The 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Trust and I hope you find the accompanying information helpful in your decision to apply for the post of Commercial Director.

I joined the Trust in December 2007, having worked in the private sector for the majority of my professional career and was struck by the opportunity to apply commercial skills in a way which immediately impacted on the lives of others.  Alongside the Board and staff, we have embarked on one of the most important times in our history to become a successful NHS Foundation Trust.   As Commercial Director, you will be instrumental in helping us achieve this goal during 2009. 

The role has several dimensions and equal balance of working internally through the Trust, and external working to establish and develop new relationships, delivery partnerships and ultimately increased levels of business for the Trust.  As such, you will provide dynamic strategic leadership that will enable us to embed a customer focused, commercial approach to all our business activities.

Our organisation is developing rapidly and you will join at a time when the relationships with our partners are strong, where there are opportunities to broaden our service offering and client base and a clear national drive to raise the standards and profile of mental health service provision.

I hope you are inspired by what you see, read and hear about us and look forward to receiving your application.

Yours sincerely

 

Simon Barber
Chief Executive
