Are you our new chief executive?

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust has a reputation as one of the most respected organisations in the NHS.

In recent years, this has seen KCHFT develop outstanding standards of care to our communities in Kent, Medway, East Sussex and north east London. Added to that, we play an influential role in our local integrated care system (ICS).

We have developed a reputation not only for strong service outcomes, but as one of the best places to work in the NHS, with a culture that celebrates innovation, empowers and inspires staff and engages patients.

Following the appointment of Paul Bentley to a new system-leader role, there is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious, values-led leader to succeed him as chief executive and to share their talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people we serve.

The opportunity

Whether you are an existing or aspiring CEO, you will be an inspiring leader with a demonstrable commitment to improving health and care services through the collaboration of people, the local population and our partners.

As our new CEO, you will share our passion for delivering inclusive high-quality care and exceptional experience for our service users and be passionate about engaging and empowering our staff so that we achieve the goal of being the best employer.

Importantly, you will build and maintain our culture of compassionate and inclusive leadership; and lead our drive to meet the aim of our equality, diversity and inclusion strategy of “leaving no one behind”.

We are actively committed to promoting equal opportunities and diversity. We welcome and encourage applications from all sections of the community.
