Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of all we do; and it forms part of  ESNEFT’s core activities. The Trust operates and relies on everyone treating each other with dignity and respect, to receive equitable and fair treatment in the implementation of Policies, Procedures and in its Practices, to foster positive work relationships, and finally to act with integrity as a professional within ESNEFT as well as a representative of the NHS as a whole.  The EDI Agenda reflects the Trust values such as Optimistic, Appreciative and Kind. In line with the NHS Long Term Plan, People Plan, People Promise and a Model Employer intrinsic in the Equality Diversity and Inclusion Agenda, we consistently strive to improve, to take the learning into Action for a better ESNEFT.

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge then we are keen to hear from you.

 

Trosolwg o'r swydd

We are seeking an exceptional and experienced leader to become our new Chief Executive. As a major integrated acute and community healthcare provider, and one of the largest employers in the region, our almost 13,000 staff are responsible for delivering high quality services to a population of around one million people living in Ipswich, east Suffolk, and north Essex, as well as providing some specialist services to a wider population.

We are seeking an outstanding individual who brings relevant executive leadership experience with a track record of success in a large and complex organisation. You will demonstrate your ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders across organisations and communities, and be known as much for  your collaborative, diplomatic, and inclusive approach as for care delivering standards expected of the NHS. You will likely have a substantial track record of success in the NHS and health and care sector, and your leadership will reflect a deep commitment to EDI. You will have a personal passion for delivering compassionate high quality care through our integrated services and in collaboration with system partners.

As our new Chief Executive, you will lead the organisation at a critical time for the Trust and wider health system as we embrace the opportunities and challenges of being at the forefront of delivering the NHS 10 Year Health Plan.  With your broad  skillset and experience you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future strategic direction of the organisation and providing inclusive, values driven leadership that ensures robust and sustained operational delivery alongside  continuous improvement in patient outcomes and experience. Your ability to engage and empower our clinical leaders to be at the centre of this transformation is central.
