Who you are

Our staff and stakeholders have told us they want a Chief Executive who is:

  • Strategic and visionary, with the courage to lead transformation and the clarity to navigate ambiguity.
  • Grounded in values, demonstrating integrity, emotional intelligence, and a deep commitment to equity and inclusion.
  • Operationally strong, with grip and control over delivery, governance, and financial stewardship—without micromanaging.
  • Collaborative and empowering, able to build trust, develop others, and lead through influence rather than hierarchy.
  • Connected to our communities, with a genuine commitment to North East London and a track record of working in or with similarly complex, diverse systems.

    We are proud of the culture we are building—one that is inclusive, transparent, and focused on continuous improvement. Our next Chief Executive will be expected to:

    • Champion co-production and community voice.
    • Lead with kindness and humility.
    • Build on the organisational discipline and structure already in place.
    • Empower the Executive Management Team while holding them to account.
    • Foster a culture of trust, learning, and delivery.
