Solihull NHS Care Trust asked for volunteers in November in a bid to cut costs and said compulsory redundancies may be needed if enough did not come forward.
Chief executive Claire Molloy said this month: “The Trust received a good response to the request for volunteers.
“As a consequence we will be unable to agree all of the applications and it is acknowledged that some people will be disappointed when we are finally able to confirm the decision to individuals.”
The trust, which decides how borough NHS cash is spent, has not said how many jobs will go.
The BBC reported last week that Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Solihull, Heartlands and Good Hope hospitals, was to cut 1,600 jobs over four years.
The Birmingham Mail said this number was not accurate.
Yet Mrs Molloy said: “The release of individuals and posts must not have an adverse impact on the direct delivery of frontline health and social care services.”
But she said compulsory redunancies may still be needed as final details of who will leave have not been agreed. The trust employs 1,500 people and spends £356m a year.
This will be £327m in the next financial year, to start in April, The Solihull News reported last week.
