Chair Recruitment

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the role of Chair at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

Alder Hey is a very special organisation. It is a place defined by extraordinary people, a deep commitment to children and families, and a culture that combines compassion with ambition. Our staff are driven not only to provide outstanding care, but to continually improve the lives and health outcomes of children locally, nationally and increasingly around the world.

As we look to the future, our ambition extends beyond being one of Europe’s leading children’s hospitals. We want to be a world-leading children’s health organisation, shaping the future of child health through innovation, research, education, technology and partnership. Achieving that ambition requires leadership, curiosity and collaboration at every level.

Our next Chair will play a vital role in that journey. This is an opportunity to build upon strong foundations, champion the values and culture that make Alder Hey unique, and help us realise our full potential. We are looking for someone who believes in our vision, embraces partnership, and understands the importance of creating the conditions for others to succeed.

Above all, our Chair will lead with humility, integrity and have a genuine commitment to improving the lives of children and young people. Someone who will support and challenge in equal measure, build trusted relationships across our communities and partners, and help ensure Alder Hey continues to thrive in an evolving healthcare landscape.

If you are inspired by the opportunity to contribute to an organisation with such a strong sense of purpose, we hope you will consider joining us on the next stage of our journey.

We look forward to meeting you during the process.
