Vacancy Description

We are recruiting a Chair for United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT). This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of ULHT by sharing your talents and expertise to help transform the Trust and make a positive difference to your community.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, delivering a comprehensive range of services from its hospital sites across the county.  ULHT provides the majority of its services from three hospitals in Lincolnshire, each an average of one hours travel distance between them:

·       Lincoln County Hospital (494 general and acute beds)

·       Pilgrim Hospital, Boston (362 general and acute beds)

·       Grantham and District Hospital (97 general and acute beds)

The organisation also provides a wide variety of outpatient, day case and inpatient services from a range of other community hospitals operated by Lincolnshire Community Health Services or local GP clusters.  These include: Louth County Hospital, John Coupland Hospital (Gainsborough), Johnson Community Hospital (Spalding) and Skegness and District General Hospital.

ULHT has an income of around £440m, provides a comprehensive range of over 100 medical, surgical, paediatric, obstetric and gynaecological services delivered by over 7,500 staff. In an average year the trust sees 600,000 outpatients, 140,000 inpatients and day cases and almost 150,000 people attend accident and emergency.

We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments made on merit. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve.

We particularly welcome applications from women, people from the local black and minority ethnic communities, and disabled people who we know are under-represented in chair and non-executive roles.
