Overview
As we look to the future, we are excited to be making progress in our plans to build a new health and care campus for West Suffolk, co-producing these plans with staff, stakeholders and partners. Our new Chief People Officer (CPO) will play a pivotal leadership role in this development as we design and deliver a new healthcare facility for our population.
The CPO will be the executive lead for the resourcing, leadership, support and development of staff and volunteers at WSFT, and the ongoing cultural development of the organisation that enables people to perform at their best.
Together with other executive members of the Board of Directors, the CPO will demonstrate inspirational and compassionate leadership to the entire workforce, ensuring that staff and volunteers are supported and motivated to provide the safest and best patient care, and are at the heart of quality improvement and organisational development.
If you are inspired to join us, we would love to hear from you. For an informal discussion with Ewen Cameron, Chief Executive, please contact Gemma Wixley on 01284 713301.
The CPO will lead the development of a strategic workforce vision and framework to support long-term workforce and education plans across clinical divisions and corporate directorates, ensuring the right people and skills for the future, with active engagement from staff and stakeholders.
