An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Associate Non-Executive Directors to join us for 12-18 months.
This new role was introduced two years ago and is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure and experience at board level and to support improved health outcomes for patients. To widen access for potential applicants, we are looking to recruit two Associate Non-Executive Directors on a more part-time basis for a shorter term.
The role enjoys a vast range of opportunities for development and achievement of Board level skills. Although it is a non-voting role, you will have full sight of strategic decision making within the Trust, and the natural progression for an Associate Non-Executive Director role would be to progress to a Non-Executive Director role in the future. If a NED vacancy arises, interested Associate NED candidates would need to apply and compete in an open recruitment and selection process.
We welcome applications from those living in or have strong connections with the areas where we provide services. You will need to live in a Constituency Area as defined by our Constitution and be able to demonstrate a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services.
Just as importantly, a personal interest and commitment in equality, diversity and inclusion is a priority for this role.
As they are under-represented in our non-executive roles, we particularly welcome approaches from women, those from Black, Ethnic and minority backgrounds, disabled people, or individuals from the LGBTQ+ community.
We are looking for people with strong leadership skills and a passion for improvement in health and social care. Just as important is your ability to engage and inspire others, and your commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion for all. You may also have lived experience and/or knowledge of our local communities which brings fresh perspectives to our board. You will bring independence, external skills, and challenge to strategy development, support purposeful, constructive scrutiny and challenge, and help shape a healthy culture for the Trust.
You will be expected to be available for around 2 days a month, however during the first few months you may well need to spend more time building up knowledge of our services.
