Health & Housing Partnerships Manager – Regeneration Team

£38,202 p.a. 37 hours per week

2 Year Fixed term contract

Job Ref: REG/03/11

Joint working to link health and housing is something that we in Walsall are particularly proud of.  In the last few years we have worked together on a whole host of projects many of which have been recognised as good practice by the Department of Health and the Chartered Institute of Housing.  Now we want to appoint a Partnerships Manager to make sure things don’t stop!

Experience in developing and managing joint projects is a must in this role.  Similarly our ideal candidate will have the negotiating and diplomatic skills necessary to keep our work on track.  A great deal of the work will be building and reinforcing joint working between NHS Walsall and whg so you will need to have significant experience of managing partnerships and projects in the public health field.  Knowing the best way to get results from working with local authorities, other public sector bodies and the commercial world would be a great bonus too.

Anyone who has worked in partnerships knows each day brings new challenges.    Keeping people involved, engaged and moving in the same direction and working on new business opportunities will be bread and butter to our Partnerships Manager.

In short we have started something rather special between the two organisations.  Are you the right person to make sure we keep up our momentum?
