About the Partnership
The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest Groups in the NHS, with a budget of over £1.6bn and 19,000 dedicated staff serving 1.5 million people. Bringing together Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG), we deliver care across five hospital sites and community settings providing secondary and tertiary care to a significant sized population. We also deliver a wide range of community services across North and North East Lincolnshire, including district nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, and specialist dental services. As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we are a UK leader in research and innovation, and a key partner in the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care System.
As a Group we continue to face significant regulatory and performance challenges and have recently been placed into Special Measures by NHS England. With a new Chief Executive and Chair in place, we are focused on driving improvement, strengthening our services, and providing better outcomes for our patients and communities. We’re proud of what our people have achieved so far and remain committed to making our Group a great place to work, with patients at the heart of everything we do.
Role
We are now seeking to appoint a Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO) to our Board. This is a critical leadership role, responsible for delivering the digital agenda and leading the use and adoption of new digital technologies and approaches across the Group. Reporting to the Group Chief Executive Officer, you will provide visionary leadership to ensure our Digital and Information systems are future-fit and safe, aligned with our strategic direction, and enable the use of digital innovation as a change agent for clinically-led digital transformation.
Candidate profile
You will be a dynamic and strategic digital leader operating at Board level within a large and complex organisation, ideally in the NHS or wider public sector. You will bring a track record of delivering large-scale digital change and transformation, alongside strong communicating and influencing skills, with the ability to inspire and engage staff at all levels.
We want our Board to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, and we are keen to attract candidates who can bring diverse perspectives. We warmly welcome expressions of interest from the widest possible range of backgrounds, particularly those who are under-represented at board level in the NHS.
Application information
This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a major NHS partnership and make a meaningful, lasting impact for our workforce and the people we serve. If you share our vision and values and would like to know more, we would be delighted to hear from you.
