Go back University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust

Associate Director of Organisational Development, Culture & Leadership

The closing date is 14 June 2026

UHD is one of the largest organisations in the NHS, employing around 10,000 colleagues and serving a population of over 800,000 people across Dorset. We are investing over £500m across our hospital sites, alongside wider system change to support the development of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams. This is creating a very different model of care, one that is more joined up, responsive and sustainable.

Main duties of the job

As the new Associate Director, you will play a central role in shaping how leadership, culture and capability come together to support delivery. This is not about designing frameworks or producing strategies; it is about making change real in a large, complex organisation where there are different perspectives, pressures and priorities.
