Chief Executive Officer

East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) is seeking an innovative, transformational, and motivated individual with great vision, energy and drive to be our Chief Executive.

Leading our outstanding organisation, you will have overall responsibility for delivering our refreshed Trust strategy through compassionate, inclusive and inspirational leadership, ensuring that we make a sustainable and lasting difference to our populations and to those we provide care for.

Ensuring equity of access, experience and outcomes is especially important to us and we are developing as the first NHS Marmot Trust to improve the wider determinants of health. We have had considerable success in developing new models of integrated care in partnership with other health and social care providers, and you will have the ability to take advantage of the opportunities to improve population health, play a leadership role in our systems but also be a relationship builder who understands ‘system by default’.

To deliver our ambitions, you must be able to champion clinical leadership internally and across organisational boundaries where we are recognised as an exceptional organisation – a place where people want to work and contribute, feel valued and included.

You will bring personal commitment and emotional resilience to the role and demonstrate sensitivity, kindness, delivery focus, pace and energy, leadership stature and strategic breadth. Ability to influence, persuasiveness and political astuteness will be needed.

We warmly welcome applications from members of our vibrant and diverse communities who bring an understanding of some of the challenges faced by our local populations and are committed to developing a truly inclusive culture.
