Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Free Hospital | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description: Thank you for spending some time thinking about this brilliant opportunity to join the Royal Free London Group as our Hospital Chief Executive for the Royal Free Hospital. As part of our highly performing Executive team and Board you will bring inclusive, inspiring, and dynamic leadership to drive performance at the Royal Free Hospital and across the Group. The Royal Free London is a special organisation with an incredible history. Founded nearly 200 years ago on the Royal Free Hospital site itself, it broke new ground and uniquely provided healthcare for anyone who needed it more than a century before the NHS was created. That pioneering purpose and groundbreaking innovation has always been at the heart of the organisation; training the first ever female medical students in the UK, leading the research and then development of treatments for HIV/AIDs, and more recently leading the development and clinical trials of the vaccines for COVID-19. We are a major teaching and research centre and one of the major partners of UCL university and deliver nationally and internationally renowned specialist clinical services alongside a wide range of local core services. The Trust provides services from five main hospital sites across North London, the Royal Free Hospital, Barnet Hospital, Chase Farm Hospital, Finchley Memorial Hospital, and Edgware Hospital, plus delivering care across 70 other sites. We have developed expertise in infectious diseases, organ transplantation, cardiovascular care, cancer, and clinical innovation. One of the largest trusts in the UK, we are proud to have some of the best clinical outcomes in the country, serving much of London's diverse population, and beyond. Our vision is to deliver world class expertise and local care, routed in our core tripartite mission of clinical excellence, groundbreaking research, and excellence in education. As our Hospital Chief Executive, you will be an essential part of our Group executive team and be responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of the Royal Free Hospital, ensuring we are delivering excellent patient care in line with our values. Your role will span shaping the strategy of this world-renowned tertiary hospital through to delivery and execution of effective operations, developments, and working across the site and with other health, social care, and partners. As part of the senior system leadership, you will work widely with partners and the ICB to shape, align and deliver our collective priorities. You will have a key leadership role and interface with UCL university representing the Royal Free Hospital and wider Trust in the ongoing development of our joint strategy. You will be a visible, inclusive, leader, with a track record of both impactful operational delivery and, crucially, of leading through relationships and influence within, and ideally beyond, a large, complex, acute healthcare provider. The Royal Free London has some of the most talented, passionate, and renowned clinical leaders in the NHS, and we believe passionately in clinical leadership. The successful candidate in this role will need to be an experienced clinical leader, or, if not a clinician, be able to demonstrate how they have developed and created cultures of high achieving clinical leadership to deliver credible results. A voting member of the Board, the CEO of the Royal Free Hospital, will contribute fully to the development of strategy and policy as well as the delivery of statutory and corporate responsibilities across the Royal Free Hospital site and the wider group. Responsible for leading the Royal Free Hospital, ensuring the delivery of both the group and local strategy, providing the highest quality clinical care, the CEO will support, through this work, the Royal Free Group's governing objectives to achieve optimum patient care, outcomes and experience, and efficient use of resources. The Hospital CEO will lead a strong site executive team, each of whom has a critical role in enabling transformation across the hospital and the wider group, including local executive HR and Finance colleagues, bringing together the whole group as a cohesive, motivated, high performing site leadership team. The successful candidate will develop and ensure the visibility of leadership, deploying strategic joined up thinking across the Royal Free Hospital to motivate staff and deliver excellent patient care efficiently and effectively. As well as their leadership role within the hospital, the CEO will hold important leadership responsibilities for developing and managing external stakeholder relationships and promoting the hospital and wider group externally within the Integrated Care System (ICS), taking the leadership role with local authorities and Trust governors for the local Place strategy and delivery.
