The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAHT) is at the heart of the vibrant and diverse community of Harlow and West Essex. Situated in a growing region with a rich history and ambitious plans for the future, we are proud to be an anchor organisation, supporting not only the health of our population but also the social and economic development of the area.
Our PAHT2030 strategy sets out a bold vision to transform healthcare delivery through innovation, digital transformation, and a state-of-the-art new hospital that will redefine the way we provide care. As we prepare to deliver this once-in-a-generation facility, we are also embracing cutting-edge digital technologies to improve patient outcomes, enhance staff experience, and modernise our services.
We are seeking a dynamic and visionary Director of Communications to help us tell this story, engage with our communities, and ensure our transformation journey is both heard and understood by stakeholders locally, regionally, and nationally.

- Champion our digital transformation, highlighting how technology is revolutionising the way we deliver care, from virtual consultations to smarter workflows and data-driven insights.
- Act as a trusted advisor to the Board and executive team, providing expert advice on communications opportunities and challenges.
- Strengthen relationships with patients, people, partners, and stakeholders, building confidence and trust in our organisation.
- Amplify our role as an anchor organisation, showcasing our commitment to the health, wellbeing, and prosperity of Harlow and West Essex.
To succeed in this role, you will need:
- Significant experience in senior communications leadership, preferably within the NHS, public sector, or similarly complex organisations.
- A proven track record of delivering innovative communications strategies that inspire and engage diverse audiences.
- Strong leadership skills, with the ability to manage and develop a high-performing team.
- Exceptional interpersonal and influencing skills, with the ability to build relationships across organisational and sector boundaries.
- A passion for public service, aligned with our values of safety, quality, and compassion.
- A strong understanding of digital transformation and its role in modernising healthcare.
