As Chief Nurse, I am committed to creating an environment where you can lead with confidence, think differently and turn ideas into meaningful change. You will have the space to challenge, the support to succeed and the influence to make decisions that genuinely improve patient care and staff experience.
We are ambitious for our patients, our communities, and our people. That means investing in innovation, backing our leaders, and working together to solve real problems in real time. You will be surrounded by passionate, values‑driven colleagues who care deeply about what they do and who they do it for.
This is a place where you can make a lasting impact, grow as a leader and be part of something bigger. If you are ready to lead change, inspire others and help shape the future, I would love you to join us.
You will lead the delivery of an ambitious digital vision, transforming how care is delivered through technology.

You’ll work in partnership with clinical, operational and digital leaders to design smarter pathways, embed best practice and accelerate adoption.
This role is about influence and impact—engaging teams, inspiring change and turning ideas into reality. You will also champion patient safety, lead on clinical informatics, and empower the workforce through digital education and development.
