NHS Brent: Identified Significant Resource Issues
 

Challenge

In 2006 NHS Brent were in deficit by £26 million which prompted newly appointed Chief Executive , Mark Easton to instigate one of the largest NHS turnaround programmes in the UK . As part of this process, several resource gaps were identified and it was decided that there was a requirement to recruit highly experienced individuals on an interim basis.

Action

Finegreen Associates were one of the key partners in helping the organisation to identify and appoint several Interim Managers. We were required to work quickly and efficiently to search our candidate database and use our networking skills to present a range of options for the client to interview. We were asked to provide fully referenced candidates with a proven track record in similar roles and organisations within certain salary/budget constraints

Outcome

We worked tirelessly to successfuly make the following appointments;

* Director of Strategic Commissioning
* Director of Human Resources
* Director of Provider Services
* Programme Director
* Deputy Director of Provider Services

NHS Hounslow: Permanent Appointment of a Director of Finance

Outcome

a) We received 855 + views of the vacancy on-line - 5 times the usual average.

b) We received and scored (against the person/job description) 45 completed application forms - 3 times the usual average
