King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

We are King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, one of the biggest and busiest Trusts in the country. We are proud to serve a local population of over 1 million across South East London with care services, and people from across the UK and beyond with our world-class specialist services. A leading teaching and research centre, we are a pioneer in medical research with an outstanding record of innovation. With over 13,500 staff representing a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, we work together as Team King’s – delivering our best for our patients.

We are now looking for an outstanding leader to join our Board as Deputy Chair. As a member of our Board, you will be responsible for King’s performance, and for setting the strategy and values of the organisation. The Deputy Chair will also deputise for and represent the Chair at internal and external meetings and events, and will take on enhanced responsibility for providing visible leadership and support to the staff and patients of the organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing Trust and Board, and have a positive impact on the patients and communities we serve.

The successful candidate will bring a demonstrable track record of achievement in organisations of scale, in either a very senior commercial or clinical role. With experience building relationships and influencing at all levels, you will have political awareness and an ability to think strategically. A commitment to equality of opportunity, and to the local community we serve is essential, as is strong commitment to our values and personal integrity.
