Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust

Time commitment: 2-3 days per month

Remuneration: £20,000

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is among the busiest and most successful healthcare providers in the UK. With over 23,000 staff, we serve a large and diverse population, with almost 3 million patient contacts every year. We are known for our commitment to providing high-quality care, offering a comprehensive range of lifelong, general and specialist care, including both inpatient and outpatient services from 5 main hospitals, as well as community services for people in Lambeth and Southwark. Guy’s and St Thomas’ also has a world leading reputation for healthcare research and technological innovation, which includes the very latest developments in imaging, surgical robotics and artificial intelligence.

Our vision is to deliver health and wellbeing as a local, national and international leader in clinical care, education, research and innovation. Later in 2024 we will launch our new Trust strategy, vision and values which will provide an ambitious strategic framework for the whole organisation to ensure we continue to provide the best possible care for patients now and in the future. This is an exciting moment for Guy’s and St Thomas’ where we have the platform to radically rethink how care is delivered and how we can be innovative with our technology to offer the best care for those we serve. In that context we are looking for two exceptional individuals to join our high-calibre Board of Directors to help realise these ambitions.

We are looking to appoint one non-executive director with experience in technology and digital transformation, and another with experience in strategic workforce planning and talent development. We are interested in individuals with an exceptional track record of driving transformational change in their respective area, with the ability to challenge established ways of thinking and practices in order to ensure we are delivering first class services. Experience of effective leadership working alongside a wide and complex range of internal and external stakeholders, and a demonstrable commitment to the Trust’s values will be essential. We are particularly keen to attract a diverse range of applicants so we can better reflect the diversity of the communities we serve as a Trust.
