Shaping the future of healthcare – Head of Services at RHN

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Head of Services role at The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (RHN). 

I am very excited about the possibility of you joining our team and organisation. As one of the oldest, independent charity hospitals in the UK, with a rich heritage, the RHN has been providing high quality care for people with complex neuro-disability for over 160 years.

The RHN is committed to continuous improvement and innovation.  A major achievement recently was the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) awarding the highly esteemed Pathway to Excellence designation to the RHN, the first independent hospital in the UK to achieve this prestigious recognition. The designation recognises healthcare organisations that foster a positive and empowering work environment that provides outstanding care and is testament to the hard work of our entire workforce. As a national centre of excellence for neuro-disability, the RHN is an environment where staff feel supported and empowered and to have this internationally recognised is extremely rewarding for everyone.

We have seen some great progress in recent years in areas of research, innovation and education, with our staff representing the RHN and sharing our multi-disciplinary expertise at numerous conferences throughout the year.

Please feel free to explore our website to learn more about the RHN, our culture, values and recent projects. The RHN is an outstanding place to work, with a vibrant community dedicated to fostering a collaborative, innovative and inclusive MDT work environment. We have a wide-ranging well-being programme with many events celebrating diversity and inclusion. This year, the RHN was awarded with the Race Equality Matters Bronze Trailblazer Status. Bronze is the first stage in the Trailblazer series spotlighting organisations that are implementing impactful solutions to drive race equality. We also signed the charter for Employers Positive about Mental Health.

We are looking for a candidate who shares our passion and dedication to providing exceptional care, innovative research, and shaping the future of care for those affected by complex brain injury and neurological conditions.

As I am sure, you are aware, the healthcare environment is very challenging presently and we are looking for an exceptional and experienced candidate to drive forward our strategy and help achieve our operational targets.

Thank you again for your interest in this exciting role. I look forward to receiving your application.

Best wishes
