London, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time

Rethink Mental Illness is seeking a part-time **Head of Strategic Partnerships and Alliances,** to deliver strong collaborative operational leadership to the evolving VCFSE alliance programme in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

**Background**

In 2019 NHS England set out a bold and radical redesign of community mental health services through the publication of the community mental health framework for adults and older adults. In response, Rethink Mental Illness published Communities that Care: a blueprint for supporting people severely affected by mental illness in their communities.

We believe that to really transform previously broken and fragmented systems of mental health support, communities and organisations must come together in the spirit of collaboration.

This cannot be delivered by any one organisation on their own. Supporting local systems to work more effectively together through partnerships and alliances is a key component of our five-year strategy.

The work of our **Strategic Partnerships & Alliances Division **is critical in achieving this objective. The division includes the local teams providing alliance leadership, participation, delivery and infrastructure support. We bring together expertise from across the charity - on co-production, community engagement, alliance building, infrastructure and corporate resources.

This specialist support interfaces with place-based partnership and alliance teams who are working with local VCFSE groups, charities, community organisations, citizens, NHS and social care, in places around England to transform community mental health services and build communities that care around people affected by mental illness.

**Tower Hamlets VCFSE Alliance - the journey so far..**

For the past three years the development of a mental health VCFSE alliance in Tower Hamlets has been enabled by a grant Rethink Mental Illness received from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).

This grant enabled Rethink to focus on supporting alliance development in four places in England, including Tower Hamlets. The Alliance has now secured funding from East London NHS Foundation Trust to further develop the alliance structure and infrastructure, to enable the alliance to thrive and to move into the next phase of development and delivery, with a focus on:

- Further alliance building
- Partnership working
- Co-production
- Community leadership
- Sustainable funding
- Addressing inequalities
- Workforce sustainability

**About the role**:
As **Head of Strategic Partnerships and Alliances** you will work with leaders across the partner organisations of the Tower Hamlets Mental Health Alliance to enable the realisation of the Alliance’s objectives across all these areas.

You will provide a facilitation and coordination function to the alliance, including elements of quality assurance & compliance, commissioner interface and relationships, reporting and due diligence. You will maintain and develop purposeful and managed partner relationships across all existing Alliance members and nurture growth and inclusion of other VCSE organisations across Tower Hamlets.

You will work with the following people and teams:

- Tower Hamlets Partnership Board
- Tower Hamlets VCSE Mental Health Alliance
- NHS Northeast London ICB
- East London NHS Foundation Trust
- Tower Hamlets Council
- Alliance co-production lead (employed by alliance partner organisation)
- Rethink Head of coproduction
- Experts by Experience
- Rethink Strategic Partnerships and Alliances division
- Rethink Place Based Delivery division
- Rethink central alliance support team
- Other associated Rethink departments as required

For full details about the role, please refer to the Job Description in the documents section below.

**About you**:
You will have a strong experience and background in contract management, project mobilisation across complex workstreams and compliance. With proven experience in managing and maintaining strong working partner relationships in a complex and nuanced VCFSE environment is essential, including:

- Understanding of the ambitions of the NHS community mental health framework
- Knowledge and understanding of Tower Hamlets Mental Health sector and VCFSE sector
- A commitment to listen and to build relationships across difference
- A strong understanding and commitment to anti-racism and exploring anti-racism practice
- Ability to lead and manage teams
- Ability to oversee and manage complex budgets across multiple organisations
- Ability to deal with stressful situations in a calm manner
- Strong systems and process-based approach to drive quality assurance and performance measures
- An eye for detail and an ability to interpret and present business intelligence/data at an elevated level, in a wide variety of reporting formats
- Understanding and experience of working with people who use mental health services and delivering strong coproduced communications work.
- Working knowledge of coproduc
