Could you be our next Chief Executive?
We are proud to be Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust - a major provider of integrated healthcare services, delivering mental health, intellectual disability, community, forensic and offender health services across the Midlands and South Yorkshire.
With a team of more than 11,300 colleagues, our Trust exists to help people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Our care is person-centred and delivered where it is needed most - from secure hospitals and community hubs to GP surgeries and people's homes.
Following the planned retirement of Ifti Majid, we are seeking an exceptional leader to become our next Chief Executive. This is a pivotal opportunity to shape the Trust's future direction, accelerate improvement and provide visible, values-led leadership at a critical time for the NHS.
As Accountable Officer, the Chief Executive will hold overall responsibility for the quality, safety and performance of our services, ensuring strong governance, financial sustainability and operational resilience. Working closely with the Chair and Board, they will lead the delivery of our strategy and provide influential leadership across local, regional and national systems, while nurturing a culture rooted in our values of Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork.
We are looking for a high-calibre leader with a strong track record of partnership working across complex systems, delivering financial efficiency while maintaining high-quality care, and leading organisations through regulatory scrutiny or major improvement activity. Previous Chief Executive experience in healthcare, and Board-level experience within mental health or community services, would be advantageous.
At Nottinghamshire Healthcare, we are committed to being a pro-equity organisation. We want our leadership to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve, and we particularly welcome applications from racially minoritised people, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and those with lived experience of using our services.
If you are a compassionate, strategic and system-focused leader, motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference at scale, we would be delighted to hear from you.
