We are seeking an exceptional leader who can help us seize the opportunities we have and navigate complex challenges, providing visible, professional leadership as we build on our successes, strengthen our close work with GOSH Charity, and deepen partnerships beyond the Trust to deliver our ambitious plans. This includes shaping our workforce as we transform elements of our operating model, making care more seamless for children and families across the organisation and beyond hospital boundaries, while ensuring long‑term financial sustainability.
We are looking for a leader who can preserve the qualities that make the Trust distinctive and expert while modernising to remain at the forefront of children’s healthcare.

Success in this role will depend on your ability to build trust, enable others to lead with confidence, and hold collective accountability for outcomes.
We require experience operating within complex systems, mature judgement, and the confidence to lead through influence, constructive challenge and partnership – ensuring that the Executive and wider leadership team are cohesive, resilient and able to thrive under pressure.
As the face of the Trust, you will be a skilled communicator, comfortable in the spotlight and will understand the responsibilities that come with the role given GOSH’s reputation in the UK and beyond.
