Further information:
The Trust is looking to attract three applicants, with senior-level experience, as follows:
- Role 1 – a candidate with a personal interest in equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), who can demonstrate a track record on this important issue. The Trust is actively working towards a diverse, gender-balanced and representative workforce and welcomes and encourages applications from all parts of the community. The Trust is working hard on a range of EDI issues and is making great progress, however, they acknowledge that there is still much to do and the successful applicant together with the Board will provide senior leadership and support to the Trust to address the challenges faced by the sector.
- Role 2 – a qualified accountant, preferably with recent, relevant finance experience in a large and complex organisation
- Role 3 – clinical and patient safety expertise gained from medical, nursing or allied disciplines, preferably with experience in quality improvement/management
You will need to be able to demonstrate you can use your experience to:
- work alongside other non-executives and executive colleagues as an equal member of the board
- bring independence, external perspectives, skills and challenge to strategy development
- hold the executive to account by providing purposeful, constructive scrutiny and challenge
- shape and actively support a healthy culture for the trust
All non-executive directors must champion the standards of public life – by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.
As a future NHS leader, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the range of behaviours required to contribute effectively in this board level role. These are outlined in the NHS Leadership Academy’s Healthcare Leadership Model.
Applicants should ideally live in or have strong connections with the areas served by the Trust.
