GOSH Charity exists to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. As the dedicated charity of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), one of the world’s leading centres for paediatric care, we raise vital funds to support children with some of the rarest and most complex conditions. The hospital treats children from across the UK and internationally, providing specialist care that is unavailable in most local settings.

The NHS cannot fund everything the hospital needs to stay at the forefront of children’s medicine. Charitable income therefore plays a crucial role in helping the hospital offer not only exceptional clinical care, but also the hope, comfort and world leading innovation that transform outcomes for children and families.

With the support of thousands of donors, partners and communities, GOSH Charity funds pioneering research, invests in cutting-edge medical technologies, supports family wellbeing, enhances hospital environments, and strengthens the staff who deliver life-changing care every day.

We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

THE ROLE

Thank you for your interest in the role of Director of People and Culture at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). This is a pivotal moment for us as we build on a year of record charitable contribution, develop our new 5-year strategy, and take forward some of the most ambitious projects in our history, including the development of the new Children’s Cancer Centre and a landmark £300 million public appeal.

As our impact and scale increase, our people and culture have never been more important. We are evolving as an organisation, strengthening our systems and processes, advancing our EDI commitments, and shaping a workplace where colleagues feel supported, connected and able to perform at their best. We have made strong progress, but we know there is more to do.

We are now looking for a Director of People and Culture who will be central to this next stage of our development. You will lead the strategy that ensures our people, structures and culture are aligned with our mission and values of care, courage and curiosity, and you will help create a working environment rooted in trust, inclusion and high performance.

Working closely with the Chief Executive, Senior Leadership Team and Board, you will shape the workforce, leadership capability and culture required to deliver our long-term goals, from major capital programmes and research investment to evolving fundraising, digital transformation and organisational growth. You will ensure that we remain an employer of choice, attracting and developing talented people who are motivated by our purpose and able to thrive in a modern, collaborative and values-led environment.
