Are you an experienced manager dedicated to improving the lives of women, birthing people, and their families during the perinatal period?
Cheshire & Merseyside Specialist Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health Service (C&M SPMMHS) is seeking an experienced manager committed to delivering high-quality, effective care to our communities. We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic, and innovative individual who can quickly adapt to changing circumstances while driving transformational change.
Our mission is to ensure that women who are experiencing, or are at risk of, significant mental health challenges during or after pregnancy receive timely, compassionate, trauma-informed, and recovery-focused care. We aim to support family relationships, helping them thrive.
If you believe you’re the ideal candidate, we’d love to hear from you.
The Operational Manager will play a key role within SPMMHS, supporting the Clinical Services Manager in the effective management and deployment of operational services across the service and the wider division. The post holder will ensure a consistent, high-quality approach to service delivery, underpinned by standardised processes and protocols. They will work closely with clinical colleagues across the service and our communities to learn from past experiences and shape the future of our care.
C&M SPMMHS is jointly provided by Mersey Care and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership, offering highly specialised assessment and treatment for women and birthing people, babies, and families from pregnancy through to 24 months. Maternal Mental Health Service is hosted by Mersey Care, with a particular focus on perinatal loss and trauma. Perinatal mental health remains a national priority within the NHS Long Term Plan, with a strong financial case for investment in prevention and the long-term system-wide benefits this brings to Children and Young People Mental Health Services, adult mental health services, A&E, and physical healthcare settings.
The post holder will be responsible for overseeing services across our footprint, with primary bases at the Merseyside area locations (Liverpool Women’s Hospital and Hollins Park). The role will require travel across various sites within the footprint.
Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.
We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
