Job Description
THE COMPANY & SITUATION:
The private sector partner to an organisation dedicated to regenerating primary healthcare facilities in deprived areas requires a Chief Executive Officer. This is a high-profile position in which you would play an autonomous leadership role in driving a business forward and giving strategic direction to a LIFT company. "LIFT" in this context stands for Local Improvement Finance Trust and is a vehicle for improving and developing frontline primary and community healthcare facilities.
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
The essential experience required for this post is as follows:
• Experience of working with the Healthcare Sector
• A detailed working knowledge of the Public Sector, ideally the NHS in the area of Primary Care service delivery, if not then Public Sector areas such as Local Authority, PFI/PPP, Social Housing, Accommodation and Regeneration.
• Absolutely key is the ability to build relationships at Chief Executive and Board Level and a track record of building partnerships with diverse clients. In this role the incumbent does not have the luxury of dealing with one client at a time; he/she is dealing with several at once and is required to build strategic partnerships with them at a senior level.
• Experience of running a medium-sized business including full financial management, P&L responsibility, Balance Sheet, etc.
• A high degree of intellect with the ability to think flexibly and understand a number of diverse areas of activity and business which, whilst not necessarily requiring and in depth knowledge of all areas of activity, need to be cohesively managed.
• The ability to achieve results through influencing others who are not necessarily under the post holder’s direct control
Please note the above criteria are essential. You require all of the above to be eligible for this role.
The following are desirable, but not essential:
• Experience at a senior level working for or with the Private sector within a relevant field, for example Construction, Facilities Management, Estates Management or delivery of Clinical Services
• Project management skills
• Experience of PFI or PPP projects
THE ROLE:
Your main task here is to build relationships at CEO and board level. We need a real self-starter, a "people person", someone proactive and full of ideas, ambitious, with vision who can knock on doors and gain the trust of the client. Although your "client" here is the public sector, LIFT companies are autonomous limited companies with both private sector and public sector shareholders. Consequently you will have full financial management and P&L responsibilities. This is akin to a start-up and you will essentially be running your own business, albeit with vast supporting resources to call upon when you need them. LIFT companies own and maintain new or refurbished buildings for primary healthcare and leases the premises to PCTs, GPs, Local Authority Social Services, dentists, pharmacists, etc.
THE OPPORTUNITY: WHY DO THIS?
This is a highly visible role and if you succeed, then the door is open for you in the wider PPP market. If you make a success of this company, you will be deemed "a very desirable commodity"! This business hasn’t even scratched the surface yet, it is on the brink of vast growth. Therefore, this is the chance to build a business that will have a huge impact on the local community, delivering state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to deprived areas.
Do you want to be able to look back on the legacy you have created that improved people’s lives? How do you fancy playing a part in supplying the kind of healthcare facilities to deprived communities that are of such a high standard that they can’t believe they are for them, that they only ever thought were available to those who pay to 'go private"? You can! This HAS happened with LIFT before and you CAN make this happen too!
Is there any more important cause than healthcare?
PLEASE NOTE: There are currently two such CEO positions available: One in each of two different LIFT companies. One is based in Harrow, Middlesex and the other in Beckenham, near Bromley.
