Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the region’s most ambitious and forward-looking healthcare providers, serving a population of over 700,000 through Bedford Hospital, Luton & Dunstable University Hospital, and a network of local sites. With nearly 9,000 dedicated staff, 500 volunteers, and a turnover of £877m, backed by 25 consecutive years of financial surplus, we are building from a position of real strength.
Looking ahead, our ambition is bold and clear. Through our Trust Strategy and our active role in the Integrated Care System, we are driving transformation to improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities, and shift care closer to communities. We are committed to reshaping services in line with the NHS Long Term Plan: embracing digital innovation, strengthening prevention, and building strong partnerships across health and care.
We are now seeking to appoint two dynamic Non-Executive Directors to join our Board:
* Strategy and Transformation: A senior leader with experience of delivering large-scale change in complex public, commercial, or voluntary organisations, with experience of delivering innovation through transformation.
* Clinical Leadership: A senior clinician with leadership experience across health or social care, with a track record of strengthening patient safety, clinical governance, and service quality.
Both roles require candidates of exceptional calibre, with the ability to provide strategic insight, constructive challenge, and assurance at Board level. You will be values-driven, committed to equity and inclusion, and motivated by the opportunity to improve health and wellbeing across Bedfordshire and beyond.
