Associate Director of Transformation

Newham Hospital is a dynamic, forward-thinking district hospital located in one of London’s most diverse communities. As part of the Barts Health group, we are committed to innovation, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

What We Offer

• A collaborative, inclusive and supportive culture
• A commitment to high-quality, patient-centred care
• Opportunities to grow your career and lead impactful change
• Strong community relationships and patient engagement

This is an exciting and high-profile leadership opportunity at the heart of a dynamic hospital serving one of London’s most diverse communities. As Head of Transformation, Improvement and Efficiency, you will be at the forefront of shaping how we deliver care to our communities – now and in the future.

You’ll lead a strategic portfolio of hospital-wide transformation programmes focused on high-impact, high-value change. From pathway redesign, service integration and cost improvement to culture change and innovation, your work will directly influence the experience of patients, staff, and partners across the system.

We’re looking for someone who thrives on complexity, brings energy and purpose to collaboration, and has a track record of delivering large-scale improvement in healthcare or similar environments.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as they are underrepresented within Barts Health at this band.
