Executive Director of Nursing, Allied Health and Social Care Professionals, Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is a very special organisation. We are an award-winning provider of health and social care services in Hull, the East Riding and North Yorkshire, as well as specialist services for patients from wider Yorkshire and parts of Lincolnshire.

Across our wide range of specialities and expertise we are connected through our commitment to one thing – delivering outstanding care. We never stop thinking about ways to make things better. We don’t just do things because that’s the way they’ve always been done. We’re open to change, trying new things and leading the way in innovation and transformation.

If this sounds something you would like to be part of, we have an exciting opportunity for an Executive Director of Nursing, Allied Health and Social Work Professions to join us in our commitment to deliver high quality, safe and sustainable patient care.

As a key member of the Board, the Executive Director will provide visible and inspirational strategies for professional leadership at Board level and throughout the organisation. The Director will also be responsible for the delivery of quality, patient experience, and clinical governance strategies of the Trust, ensuring that patients receive high quality and effective, safe, and responsive care throughout and that organisational services fulfil statutory requirements for quality and patient safety.

All executive directors must champion the standards of public life – by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership. As a future NHS leader, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the range of behaviours that align to our Behavioural Standards ‘Being Humber’ enabling an effective contribution in this board level role.

Just as importantly, a personal interest and commitment in equality, diversity and inclusion is a priority for this role. We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments are made on merit. We believe that the most successful boards are those that reflect the communities they serve. We particularly welcome applications from women, people from black and minority ethnic communities, and disabled people, who we know are under-represented in Board level roles.

Our recruitment processes are conducted in accordance with the NHS Code of Governance to ensure that they are made on merit after a fair and open process so that the best people, from the widest possible pool of candidates, are appointed.
