The iconic Macmillan Nurse has been a symbol of support for those affected by cancer in the UK since the 1970s. Last year, our Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) reached over a million people living with cancer, providing effective and innovative services to improve their quality of care.

Macmillan is currently looking to appoint a new Chief Nurse to be a strategic leader and visible figurehead for all our Macmillan Nurses and AHPs, of which we currently fund or support 7,500 nationwide. This role is absolutely critical to ensuring that Macmillan achieves its ambitious strategy of helping everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can.

About the Role

Reporting into the Chief Executive, the Chief Nurse will act as the executive and strategic leader for Macmillan’s nursing and AHPs workforce. This includes defining and implementing a strategic approach to ensure Macmillan’s workforce strategy is robust and that the voices of our nurses and AHPs are recognised at the highest level. This role will strategically advise the Executive team and the Board of Trustees on topics relating to nursing and AHPs.

Recognising both the present and future considerations for the delivery of care, the Chief Nurse will be strategically responsible for the ongoing development of our nurses and AHPs, as well as supporting the testing of new initiatives at Macmillan. Furthermore, they will support cross-functional influencing activities, providing specialist, strategic advice to the wider organisation, such as to Policy and Public Affairs & Campaigns.  

Vitally, the Chief Nurse will continue to build and maintain Macmillan’s external reputation as a thought leader and expert in this space, representing the organisation among key stakeholders, on relevant steering groups and promoting our agenda and views through media activities, conferences and other external channels. This role will play a key role in the national debate around nursing and AHPs across the UK.

About you

You are an outstanding strategic leader, with a first level nurse registration, who can bring proven post-registration experience at Board and preferably national level. You are comfortable working autonomously and are familiar with acting as a clinical expert to executive levels.

Acting as an internal and external figurehead, you bring a strong network and have held senior positions that have seen you utilise exceptional influencing, engagement and stakeholder management skills. You are a strategic thought leader, who has had demonstrable success in complex and matrix working environments, driving forward change and clearly articulating the present and future needs for the delivery of care. You are passionate about being a voice for Macmillan’s nurses and AHPs.

About us

Last year, we raised £247 million in order to provide physical, emotional and financial support to people living with cancer across the UK. In 2018, Macmillan individually supported 1.9 out of 2.5 million people living with cancer in the UK, and we continue to endeavour to reach those, as yet, unsupported communities and individuals.

This role is subject to a basic DBS check.

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in working age adults. Survivors of brain injury can live with a range of difficulties affecting their physical and cognitive functioning. Living with a brain injury can result in social isolation, mental health problems, difficulties with family relationships and unemployment.

Headway SELNWK is a medium size charity, over thirty years old, that supports people affected by ABI. We provide support services across SE London and North West Kent in the community and at our day services in Deptford and Shooter's Hill. Most of our members’ support is funded by social services or the NHS. Whilst we want to maximise this funding where possible, we also want to develop models of support that are not dependent upon statutory funding.

Headway has well established links with local hospitals, notably with the Major Trauma Centre at Kings’ College Hospital.  We foster active links with a range of community providers including neurological rehabilitation and social work teams and other Third Sector organisations.

Headway SELNWK is entering a phase of new development and is looking to recruit an outstanding Director of Strategy and Business Development. The ideal candidate will have significant experience of working with people affected by ABI and an evident passion for the charity’s mission to improve outcomes for them.

The postholder will be responsible for overseeing the development of the charity’s strategy and external relationships to drive the charity’s mission.

With a strong commitment to working co-productively with our members and their families, the post holder will identify what is already working well, what could be improved and how to implement and evaluate these improvements. The post holder will work closely with our Community Organiser to develop inclusive and inspiring models of practice that are responsive to the needs of our members and their families. This role will be key in developing a strategy for the training and development of our staff so as to best meet the needs of our members and their families and the demands of the local health and social care system.

With the Director of Finance and Operations and the Board of Trustees the post holder will develop a short-, medium- and long-term strategy to improve the charity’s operations and will work across the charity to implement and evaluate the strategic aims and objectives.

Therefore the post holder should have good project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential as the post holder will represent the charity to external partners such as commissioners, supporters and other statutory and third sector organisations.

The post holder must understand how Headway SELNWK's local work fits into regional and national agendas to develop services for people affected by ABI. We'd expect the post holder to have awareness of the challenges and opportunities of working within the Third Sector.

The ideal candidate will not necessarily have all of the required and desired characteristics, though they will certainly have real strengths in some of these areas. What is most important is that they will have a commitment to the charity’s mission. They will demonstrate a genuine openness to feedback and continuing improvement and will seek to learn from the experience of our members and their families.

What we are looking for?

We are looking for someone with experience of facilitating either operational or strategic planning, ideally in a brain injury rehabilitation service and/or within the Third Sector. You should have demsonstrable experience in developing plans with clear objectives and outcomes. You will be confident, astute and strategic in your assessment of complex issues, an excellent listener and someone who has the ability to manage a variety of stakeholders with differing expectations.
