Chief Executive Officer£petitive remuneration package
Location: East of England region, with flexible working
Overview
East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) has a bold vision to ensure that the people of the East of England region are provided with excellent urgent and emergency healthcare by a dedicated team of nearly 5,000 staff and 1,500 volunteers. The overarching aim is to place patients and staff at the heart of everything they do while delivering the vision of ‘outstanding care, exceptional people, every hour of every day’. After two years of focused cultural change and organisational transformation work by dedicated staff, EEAST came out of the NHS Oversight Framework in January 2024.
The role
The role requires an experienced, values-driven senior leader who has a flexible leadership style, excels in, and enjoys, leading from the front in situations demanding an urgent response, and is committed to developing teams and individuals to achieve personal potential and secure enduring success for EEAST. Fostering an inclusive, open, and respectful culture, true to the NHS and Trust values, whilst also delivering on in-year performance and planning for the longer-term future and forging cross-system initiatives to improve services for patients and their families will be key elements of this role.
You will have a strong track record of leading organisations by empowering staff, developing a strong senior team, and ensuring cultural change benefits staff and service quality. As EEAST strives to be an organisation known for its outstanding provision of services and for being a great place to work, they need an exceptional leader with a record of developing staff motivation and leading dispersed professional teams. Previous experience of working in the NHS is not required for the post, though a commitment to the values of the Trust and wider public sector is essential. Experience of working within a regulated environment would also be helpful. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate an ability to understand the changing health and care landscape in which we deliver services, developing a strong executive team to provide effective leadership across the organisation whilst building partnerships across the six systems in which EEAST operates.
How to apply
Application is by CV and covering letter. Your letter should explain your motivation in applying for the post of Chief Executive Officer at EEAST and highlight those aspects of your skills and experience you believe make you an excellent candidate for East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
