Thank you for your interest in applying for the role of Chief Executive at St Luke’s.
St Luke’s is an extraordinary organisation. Established over 50 years ago, it is one of the leading hospices in the UK. Sheffield literally has St Luke’s in its heart, caring for patients, and their loved ones, with palliative and end of life care. Of the approximate 5000 annual deaths in Sheffield, St Luke’s provides care in respect of 2000 of those.
Renowned for the quality of its care, and its leading role in innovation and research, St Luke’s recently refreshed 5-year strategy due to be published shortly builds on these strengths and sets out St Luke’s vision and ambitions moving forward.
Peter Hartland, current CEO stepping down in Summer 2024, has successfully led St Luke’s for the last 15 years, and having built a well-established and very experienced leadership team, St Luke’s seek applications from people who believe they can build on this very sound and successful base, and take the new strategy forward.
With demand for end of life care forecast to grow significantly over the next 10 years coupled with unprecedented pressure on the NHS, the challenge, and opportunity, is for St Luke’s to play an increasingly influential role in both the hospice movement and the Health and Care system, as to how sustainable, affordable quality end of life care can be accessible to all in Sheffield who may need it in the coming years.
We are open minded as to your background, with particular qualities we are seeking including a visible and strong values-based approach to leadership, influential and inspirational direction, experience of working with a Board keen to engage, and a track record of enabling an experienced leadership team to deliver and exceed organisational objectives and expectations.
For an informal discussion can be organised for candidates that reach the shortlisted stage.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Adrian Belton,
Chair of the Board of Trustees
