Working alongside our system colleagues, we are shaping the agenda of care for mental health, learning disability and autism across the county., The Senior Improvement Lead will be responsible for the co-ordination and delivery of the Trust's improvement capability and Improvement Management System (IMS). This includes leading the planning and roll out of IMS, ensuring effective delivery across teams and directorates, and leading readiness assessments and engagement activity to enable successful adoption.

Youwill have responsibility for the improvement practitioners within the pillar they are assigned to, including line management and ensuring delivery against agreed priorities. This includes leading key capability programmes such as White Belt, Yellow Belt and A3 awareness, as well as supporting corporate induction and development of improvement capability across the organisation.

You will lead on the delivery of key elements of our Doing Well Together (DWT) infrastructure, including driver meetings, status sheet delivery, and sustainability planning to support frontline embedding of improvement practice.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues to co-ordinate initiatives such as the Improvement Collaborative and Innovation Den, and contribute to wider organisational priorities, including medical education.

This is a vital role in the delivery of the wider improvement programme and is an important part of supporting the organisation to develop a continuous improvement culture.

We are Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust. We care for the mental health and wellbeing of people across Kent and Medway and are rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Our teams support children, young people and adults with a wide range of mental health needs. We also provide specialist services, including all-age eating disorder services and neurodevelopmental assessments for children and young people, such as autism and ADHD.

Because we work across the whole county and across hospital and community settings, we can make care more joined up and easier to access for the people we serve.

Our vision is simple: we are here to help communities not just live with mental illness, but live well. It's why we're passionate about working with communities to make mental health care better for everyone. Everything we do is guided by our values: caring, inclusive, curious and confident.

Join us if you share our passion for better mental health care and want to be part of a team that's working well together.
