Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Role:
This is a pivotal role on our Joint Board and Executive Team reporting to our Chief Executive Karen James OBE. With the opportunity to shape an ambitious People agenda, you will enable our workforce to flourish as we maximise the opportunities offered by partnership and integration; supporting continuous quality improvement and the sustainability of our services. Working across both organisations and with wider system partners, you will champion inclusive leadership, workforce innovation, culture change, and organisational development, ensuring our workforce remains at the heart of our strategic decisions.
What We Are Looking For:
We are seeking an inspirational and values-led People leader, with significant board-level or equivalent experience gained in comparably large, complex, unionised, and multi-professional environments. With a track record of delivering workforce transformation and embedding cultural change, you will demonstrate credibility in influencing at all levels and be comfortable navigating complexity both internally and externally. Most importantly, you will share our commitment to inclusion, compassion, and continuous improvement, creating conditions where our colleagues can thrive and deliver the very best care to our communities.
