Holy Cross Hospital

Holy Cross Hospital is a not-for-profit independent hospital founded in 1917 by the Daughters of the Cross of Liege (Daughters), for individuals with neurological and physical disabilities who require complex care.

The Hospital provides a comfortable and homely environment for 42 residents who are highly dependent and require very detailed care plans and treatment. The Holy Cross team provide professional specialist services in a friendly, safe and calm environment. This approach allows the hospital to challenge the limits to recovery for each individual and has earned it a reputation for being a centre of excellence, reinforced by their last CQC rating of ‘Outstanding’.

Holy Cross Hospital also provides outpatient care in a modern integrated physiotherapy centre. The centre has a well-equipped gym and a hydrotherapy pool. The team of physiotherapists and hydrotherapists treat a range of conditions and aim to restore patient mobility and independence.

The hospital is looking to appoint a Chief Executive to continue to develop the organisation ensuring that the vision, values and ethos of the organisation are reflected in daily care and behaviours. The hospital is 100% independently owned and operated, and the Chief Executive has a high degree of autonomy in achieving the mission of the hospital and its owners of delivering excellent care and healthcare outcomes.  The hospital has excellent facilities and a strong reputation in the community and the healthcare ecosystem in which it operates.

The next Chief Executive will be a compassionate leader with experience gained in a health and social care setting, with strategic and operational management experience. You will be able to work collaboratively with an inclusive management style, with experience of managing budgets, setting financial direction, as well as delivering high-quality services. The successful candidate will be aligned to the vision, values and ethos of the hospital.
