Salary This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone who shares our passion for high quality mental health, learning disabilities and community health services.
The overall positive experience rating of people using our services has recently increased to 95%, while 74% of colleagues recommend our care provision. While we’re proud of these ratings, we’re not taking them for granted and recognise the need for continuous quality improvement.
Sharing our values, you’ll build on our positive CQC inspection in 2022, which rated the Trust as ‘Good,’ and lead on developing our services to be truly ‘Outstanding.’ To that end, you’ll be a strong advocate for high quality care, co-production, innovation and transformation.
As our Board lead on quality governance, you’ll provide exemplary leadership to ensure great patient safety, effectiveness of care and patient experience. A torch-bearer for multi-disciplinary and agency working, you’ll provide authentic, compassionate and inspirational leadership to nursing, Therapies and social work colleagues.
With a track record of high achievement in clinical leadership, you’ll have experience of working at board or sub-board level, and across organisations. Outcomes-focussed, you’ll be a clear, strategic thinker, with the confidence, credibility and sensitivity to engage positively and productively with stakeholders.
You’ll be joining a strong, experienced and diverse team, who’ll welcome an empowering and values-led approach. If this sounds like you, we hope you’ll be encouraged to apply and we look forward to meeting you in due course.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.
Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.
Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.
Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.
Gloucestershire Health and Care is committed to embedding and providing personalised care through all of its services as part of our high-quality care strategy. The purpose of personalised care is to empower people to lead the lives they want to live. Personalised care starts with a conversation with people about what matters to them. It builds on what people can do, as well as addressing their health needs. Including new ways of working and delivering care, emphasising that we need to make effective use of the full range of our people’s skills and experience to deliver the best possible patient care. So we want to know What Matters to You and that you will share our values and join us on this very important journey.
