Ahead of his retirement Mr Majid, who has served more than 42 years in the NHS, said it had been a privilege to work at the trust.
“Barely a day goes by in this NHS Trust without me hearing of some innovation, act of compassion or extra effort that has made a real difference to somebody’s life,” he said.
“That is what gives me hope for the future of our services and our trust.
“The efforts of our staff and volunteers, on behalf of our patients and service users, are truly magnificent.”
Trust chairman Paul Devlin added: “I want to thank Ifti for his long career in the provision of mental health, learning disability and autism services.
“In every role he has held, including most recently as chief executive of two trusts, he has been driven by a focus on delivering the very best for people in need.
“His compassion continues to be inspiring every single day and is a welcome north star in our highly pressured NHS.”
The trust will now recruit and appoint a successor for Mr Majid ahead of his departure.
