Welcome from Chief Executive Alex Whitfield
Thank you for your interest in this post and for taking time to read this information pack. Here at Hampshire Hospitals, we are all about our People – the people we work with and the people we care for. This is an amazing opportunity to be part of the leadership team which sets the culture and the direction for our hospitals. We hope we can capture your imagination and inspire you to bring all your skills, experience and passion to bear on providing outstanding care for the people of Hampshire.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
As an acute NHS Trust, we are partners with our colleagues across the Hampshire and Isle of Wight (HIOW) health care system.
We are passionate about our inclusive CARE values and are looking for candidates who live and breathe them. They are:
COMPASSIONATE caring about our patients and our staff
ACCOUNTABLE and responsible, always improving
RESPECTFUL for all colleagues, patients and their families
ENCOURAGING and challenging each other to always do our best
INCLUSIVE all of our values are encompassed by a culture of inclusivity
We are really excited to hear from you and look forward to receiving your application.
