Description
The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest Groups in the NHS, with a budget of over £1.6bn and 19,000 dedicated staff serving 1.5 million people. Bringing together Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG), we deliver care across five hospital sites and community settings providing secondary and tertiary care to a significant sized population. We also deliver a wide range of community services across North and North East Lincolnshire, including district nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, and specialist dental services. As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we are a UK leader in research and innovation, and a key partner in the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care System.
As a Group we continue to face significant regulatory and performance challenges and have recently been placed into Special Measures by NHS England. With a new Chief Executive and Chair in place, we are focused on driving improvement, strengthening our services, and providing better outcomes for our patients and communities. We’re proud of what our people have achieved so far and remain committed to making our Group a great place to work, with patients at the heart of everything we do.
We are now seeking a Group Chief Nursing Officer to join our Board. This critical role will lead our quality and improvement agenda, providing strategic and professional leadership for Nursing, Midwifery, and Allied Health Professionals across the Group. You will shape our clinical strategy, drive new models of care, and champion a culture that is patient-centred, inclusive, and accountable, playing a key role in the future of care across Humber Health Partnership and the wider system.
We are seeking an inspiring, values-driven nursing leader with significant board-level experience in a complex, acute setting. You will bring substantial experience in leading quality and clinical transformation, with the confidence to navigate complexity and build trusted relationships at pace. Above all, you will be a visible and inclusive leader who inspires others, champions high professional standards, and consistently puts patients at the centre of decision making.
We want our Board to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, and we are keen to attract candidates who can bring diverse perspectives. We warmly welcome expressions of interest from the widest possible range of backgrounds, particularly those who are under-represented at board level in the NHS.
This is an exceptional opportunity to define your career, build confidence in our services and make a meaningful, lasting impact for the people we serve. If you share our vision and values and would like to know more, we would be delighted to hear from you.
