Job description

Chief Executive Overview

Our new five-year strategy clearly articulates our vision for the future, and how we intend to continue to make a difference to the children and families who need us. We are seeking a Chief Executive with a passion for public service and the difference that timely access to healthcare can make, especially when interventions are made early.

As our new Chief Executive, you will be a fresh thinker, unafraid to challenge convention, and able to bring our committed senior leadership team and dedicated workforce with you as we drive improvement and change. You will be politically astute, able to influence nationally and collaborate internationally, and have the ability to accelerate our commercial ambitions.

The GOSH name, brand and reputation brings with it significant prestige, but also responsibility and scrutiny. You will therefore be a skilled communicator, comfortable in the spotlight and understand the responsibilities that come with the position that GOSH occupies in the hearts and minds of our patients and their families, as well as in the hearts and minds of the public in the UK and beyond.

In return you will lead a workforce that believes passionately in GOSH's ability to make a difference to the children we are treating now and in the future.

GOSH is unique, and as our new Chief Executive, you will have a unique opportunity to help us write our next chapter.
