Hospital Director – Place Leadership

The Hospital Director holds direct corporate accountability for stewardship of the site, including safety, resilience, estates, infrastructure, space, environmental standards, emergency preparedness and statutory compliance. The role exists to enable and protect divisional delivery by identifying and managing site-level risks and constraints, coordinating major change, leading EPRR arrangements, and providing clear assurance to the Executive Team. This is a high-profile, visible leadership role requiring strong personal authority, judgement and pace. The postholder must be able to build trusted relationships quickly, lead through influence rather than line management, hold the confidence of the Executive Team, and represent the Trust credibly with local partners, regulators, elected representatives and communities. The role requires advanced communication, judgement, organisational planning and leadership across policy, financial and workforce areas.
