Job Introduction
This position offers a uniquely thrilling chance to spearhead an ambitious initiative that aims to integrate systems designed to aid individuals with drug and alcohol issues, along with a variety of other health and care services, such as mental health, social care, and support for neurodiversity.

Main Responsibilities
This role has two core responsibilities:
**1 Leadership of the STaRS partnership**
- Will be responsible for the strategic leadership of STaRS. This includes providing line management for the Service Manager at MPFT.

- Your role will involve the development of excellent working relationships will colleagues across mental health, social care, learning disabilities, public health and similar functions delivered by the two organisations.
- Innovative solutions will be required to long-standing and engrained barriers to integrated working and so you will need to be creative and persistent in co-producing new ways of working with a range of stakeholders.

We are seeking an innovative and ambitious problem-solver who is able to creatively engage colleagues across all levels of the Partnership and with a range of other external stakeholders across the county.

You will have:

- Extensive experience of managing drug/alcohol or closely related services
- A demonstrable track record of leading innovative but evidence-based solutions to complex problems
- Knowledge and experience of multiple health and care functions
- The ambitious and ability to help solve some of the complex and long-standing challenges facing the drug/alcohol field
- The ability to communicate equally effectively with service users and chief executives
- A commitment to co-production and the appropriate involvement of people with lived experience

While the recruitment is led by Staffordshire County Council, this is a joint role with MPFT.

The post-holder will be hosted by the Council but will be jointly managed by MPFT and will have authority to make decisions across both organisations.

Interviews will be held on Monday June 10th.
